Tomorrow's Weather / New Typhoon Possible! Afternoon Thunderstorms Hit Northern and Central Taiwan – Full Week Forecast

Moisture from the south will continue flowing toward Taiwan tomorrow, increasing the likelihood of rainfall in southern regions and Taitung, leading to unstable weather conditions. According to Central Weather Administration forecaster Tseng Chao-cheng, Taitung and the Hengchun Peninsula may experience more significant rainfall, with localized areas needing to guard against heavy rain. Yilan and Hualien may also see scattered rainfall.

Northern and central Taiwan will be affected by afternoon convection, with thunderstorms possible in some areas. When rainfall intensifies, precipitation may accumulate rapidly in a short period, increasing the risk of heavy rain or short-duration torrential downpours in localized areas. People should stay alert to real-time weather changes when going outdoors.

By Tuesday, overall rainfall will gradually ease compared to tomorrow. Southern Taiwan and the Hualien-Taitung region may still experience occasional brief showers, while most other areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny. Afternoon thunderstorms may still develop, particularly in mountainous areas of central and northern Taiwan, where localized heavier rainfall is possible.

From Wednesday through next Sunday, weather patterns will gradually stabilize, with afternoon rainfall mainly concentrated in mountainous regions. On Wednesday, as southerly winds weaken, Taitung and the Hengchun Peninsula may still see scattered brief showers, but rainfall areas elsewhere will significantly shrink.

Temperature-wise, daytime highs across Taiwan will range from 32 to 35°C over the next week, with some areas reaching 36°C. The public should avoid prolonged sun exposure during outdoor activities and replenish fluids as needed.

New disturbance may develop into Typhoon 'Dolphin'

Typhoon Nangka has weakened steadily after moving into China. Meanwhile, a tropical disturbance has formed east of Guam and is expected to strengthen into a tropical depression within the next 7 to 10 days, potentially developing into Typhoon 'Dolphin' by late July to early August.

Current forecasts suggest the system may move toward waters near or east of Japan and is not expected to directly impact Taiwan. However, its future development will require ongoing monitoring.
