According to the meteorological fan page WeatherRisk, Taiwan will experience steady weather under a continuous northeast wind system, though conditions will shift as the Dujuan typhoon brushes past Japan’s Kanto outer waters, bringing heightened waves to northern and eastern coastal areas.
Northeast Winds Bring Stable Weather and Coastal Rains
WeatherRisk reported that Taiwan’s surrounding environment will maintain a northeast wind pattern with minimal moisture, ensuring stable conditions across most regions. Windward areas such as the Keelung North Coast, the eastern region, the Hengchun Peninsula, and the greater Taipei mountainous areas will see occasional cloudy skies and sporadic brief showers, while other areas remain mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Daytime temperatures stay warm, ranging from 22 to 34 degrees Celsius depending on the region, though cooler nighttime and early morning temperatures create wide daily thermal ranges.
Northern Taiwan Faces Increased Rain as Northerly Winds Strengthen
According to WeatherRisk forecasts, northerly winds surrounding Taiwan will strengthen slightly, bringing a modest increase in windward moisture.桃園以北 (Taoyuan and areas north), Greater Taipei, and Yilan will experience localized brief showers, while the Huatung region and the Hengchun Peninsula can expect isolated brief rain. Daytime temperatures in northern Taiwan will dip slightly, while other regions maintain warm daytime conditions through the middle of the week under a persistent northeast flow.
Typhoon Dujuan Approaches Japan and Generates Long Waves in Taiwan
WeatherRisk noted that Typhoon Dujuan is projected to sweep past the outer waters of Japan’s Kanto region, potentially impacting flight schedules for travelers heading to the area. Domestically, the storm’s outer northerly winds will trigger rising waves and potential long waves from Sunday through Tuesday across the Keelung North Coast, Matsu, eastern regions including Lanyu and Green Island, and the Hengchun Peninsula, prompting warnings for maritime operations and coastal activities.
Pro Tip: Weather conditions can shift rapidly near coastal areas during typhoon movements. Always check official updates from the Central Weather Administration before planning seaside activities or maritime work.
