A remarkably rare meteorological scene is unfolding over the Northwest Pacific! Currently, three typhoons—Dolphin, Chan-hom, and Bavi—are coexisting with the newly developed Tropical Depression TD18, creating a lively 'four-way dance' of tropical systems. The weather fan page 'Guan Qi Xiang Kan Tian Qi' points out that the main large-scale system driving the weather over the next one to two weeks is an exceptionally vast monsoon circulation. Affected by this system and subsequent low-pressure belts, rainfall trends near Taiwan will significantly intensify, and a damp, unstable weather pattern is expected to persist through next week.
This monsoon circulation has nurtured numerous tropical systems, meaning Taiwan's flood prevention preparations must not be taken lightly. Facing the successive arrival of moisture, meteorological experts remind the public to always carry rain gear when going out, ready to respond to sudden downpours.
Where will the rainfall hotspots be this week? Increased rain in central and southern regions from early morning into night; northern areas should guard against afternoon thunderstorms.
Regarding recent weather changes, 'Guan Qi Xiang Kan Tian Qi' analyzes that as Typhoon Dolphin gradually makes landfall in mainland China, the strength of the southwesterly winds around Taiwan will slightly increase. From today until Thursday (13th), the probability of rain in central and southern Taiwan will significantly rise, especially frequent rainfall during early mornings and nighttime hours. As for residents in northern areas, special attention should be paid to the development of afternoon heat convection, which may lead to intense thunderstorms.
Therefore, whether commuting early in the morning or engaging in outdoor activities in the afternoon, everyone must stay updated on the latest weather changes and take proper rain-prevention measures.
How bad will the weather get starting Friday? A low-pressure belt will dominate, moisture levels will surge, and rain may persist through next week.
As time progresses, weather stability in the latter half of this week will drastically decline. 'Guan Qi Xiang Kan Tian Qi' explains that starting Friday (14th) through next Wednesday (19th), Taiwan will move into the southeastern side of the monsoon circulation, and the accompanying low-pressure belt will begin to directly affect Taiwan. During this period, moisture levels around Taiwan will significantly increase, and the atmospheric environment will be highly conducive to further development of tropical disturbances. This will push all regions of Taiwan into a more unstable and rain-prone weather pattern.
Experts assess that this rainfall period could be prolonged, with several consecutive days of wet and rainy weather inevitably affecting daily commutes and outdoor plans.
