Taipei, Nov. 15 (CNA) Two waves of seasonal northeasterly winds are expected to affect Taiwan over the coming week, with the second bringing temperatures below 14 degrees Celsius in central and northern parts of the country from Thursday.

Central Weather Administration (CWA) forecaster Liu Pei-teng (劉沛滕) said the first wave would affect Taiwan on Monday, bringing scattered showers to areas north of Taoyuan and eastern Taiwan, as well as isolated showers in mountainous areas south of Hsinchu.

The winds are expected to weaken Tuesday, making it the most stable day of the coming week, with only isolated showers forecast in eastern Taiwan, he said.

However, another weather front is forecast to pass through Taiwan on Wednesday, bringing a fresh round of strengthening northeasterly winds and scattered showers to northern and eastern Taiwan.

The second wave is expected to affect Taiwan from Thursday to Saturday. Although conditions will initially be cool and damp, the weather will gradually turn drier, with rainfall increasingly confined to eastern Taiwan and other windward areas, Liu said.

Temperatures will drop more noticeably during the second wave, with lows of around 15 to 16 degrees in northern Taiwan and 16 to 17 degrees in central Taiwan.

Some areas in central and northern Taiwan could see temperatures fall below 14 degrees, while lows in southern Taiwan are expected to range from 18 to 19 degrees, he said.
