Temperature lows below 10 expected on Thursday morning｜Taiwan News

Temperatures could drop below 10 degrees on Thursday morning, as a cold air mass sweeps the island. The lowest temps will be felt in Northern Taiwan and Kinmen, which have been issued a cold surge advisory. Snow is also in the forecast for high mountain areas in Northern and Central Taiwan. Though the cold will relent on Friday, a second cold air mass is set to bring in more chilly weather this Saturday.

A steaming bowl of vermicelli soup is just the ticket when the weather gets this chilly.

And it’s only set to get colder, with lows under 10 degrees expected in the early hours of Thursday.

The effects of this cold air mass will be most intense in the early hours of Thursday. Lows will fall between 12 and 14 degrees. We’re expecting less than 10 degrees in Northern Taiwan and Kinmen, where we have issued cold surge advisories. In New Taipei, areas near mountains could see prolonged periods under 10 degrees.

In combination with atmospheric moisture, high mountain areas in Northern and Central Taiwan could get a dusting of snow.

Be aware that tonight and tomorrow, mountain roads may get icy. The snow level will be 2,000 m in the north and northeast, and 3,000 m in Central Taiwan. So if you are going to mountainous areas, pay close attention to road conditions and be sure to wrap up warm.

The cold air mass will start weakening on Friday, only to be followed by another one on Saturday. With two cold spells in one week, remember to wrap up warm.
