Taipei:Seasonal northeasterly winds are anticipated to bring a significant drop in temperatures across northern Taiwan next week, with lows reaching as low as 15 degrees Celsius, According to Central Weather Administration (CWA).

According to Focus Taiwan, the CWA has forecasted two waves of these seasonal winds to hit Taiwan.

The latter is predicted to cause overnight temperatures to fall to 15-16 degrees in areas north of Taoyuan City and in Yilan County. Meanwhile, central and southern Taiwan can expect temperatures to range between 18 and 19 degrees.

Daytime temperatures are also projected to be cooler, with highs of only 18-19 degrees in northern Taiwan and 20-24 degrees in central and southern regions. The winds are expected to bring moisture, resulting in showers in windward areas of northern Taiwan and mostly cloudy skies elsewhere.

The CWA anticipates that the second wave of winds will start to weaken by Friday. Independent meteorologist Wu Der-rong noted that low-lying areas would also experience a noticeable temperature decrease as the weather system advances. The first wave of winds is expected to be weaker, with overnight lows of 21-22 degrees in the north and 22-23 degrees in central and southern Taiwan.
