Rain expected over 228 holiday: Two fronts to bring wet weather to Northern and Eastern Taiwan

(FWA 2026/2/24)The Central Weather Administration (CWA) stated on the 23rd that while the first two days of the work week will remain relatively stable, two weather fronts are set to arrive soon. As these new weather systems move in, the weekend front will carry significant moisture, bringing rain to Central, Northern, and Eastern Taiwan during the 228 holiday.

According to the CWA, from Monday (2/23) to Tuesday (2/24), most of Taiwan will see cloudy to sunny skies, with only occasional local rain in the Eastern half and the Hengchun Peninsula. Lows will range between 17°C and 19°C, while daytime highs will reach 26°C to 30°C. Please be mindful of the large temperature swings.

From Tuesday night (2/24) to Thursday (2/26) daytime, a passing front and strengthening northeasterly seasonal winds will bring showers to the northern coast, eastern Taiwan, and mountainous parts of northern Taiwan, with scattered light rain possible north of Taoyuan.

On Wednesday, highs in the North and Northeast will drop to around 18°C to 20°C, remaining cool all day. Residents should prepare for colder weather and carry rain gear, while Central and Southern Taiwan will continue to experience significant temperature differences.

From Thursday night (2/26) to Saturday (2/28), another approaching front will arrive, and rainfall will become more widespread. Moisture levels will be high across the island, leading to longer periods of rain. Showers are expected in Central and Northern Taiwan as well as the Eastern half, with chances of rain in the southern mountains. In the North and East, highs will be around 21°C–22°C and lows 17°C–19°C. Central and Southern Taiwan will still see highs of 25°C–27°C and lows around 19°C–20°C.

On Sunday (3/01), affected by the South China cloud and rain belt, moisture will persist, with local showers continuing in Central and Northern Taiwan and the Eastern half. Highs in Northern Taiwan will slightly rise to 22°C–23°C, while lows remain steady.

Bakasyon sa 228: Dalawang Front Magdadala ng Ulan sa Hilaga at Silangang Taiwan

Sinabi ng Central Weather Administration (CWA) noong ika-23 na bagama’t magiging maayos ang panahon sa unang dalawang araw ng linggo, may darating na dalawang weather front. Dahil sa pagdating ng mga bagong weather system na ito, ang front sa katapusan ng linggo ay magdadala ng maraming halumigmig (moisture), kaya magkakaroon ng ulan sa Gitna, Hilaga, at Silangang bahagi ng Taiwan sa panahon ng bakasyon sa 228 Peace Memorial Day.

Ayon sa CWA, mula Lunes (2/23) hanggang Martes (2/24), magiging maulap hanggang sa maaraw sa halos buong Taiwan, maliban sa ilang bahagi ng Silangan at Hengchun Peninsula na maaaring makaranas ng lokal na pag-ulan. Ang pinakamababang temperatura ay nasa 17°C hanggang 19°C, habang ang init sa araw ay aabot sa 26°C hanggang 30°C. Mag-ingat sa malaking pagbabago ng temperatura.

Mula Martes ng gabi (2/24) hanggang Huwebes (2/26) ng umaga, dadaan ang isang front at lalakas ang northeasterly seasonal winds na magdadala ng showers sa hilagang baybayin, Silangang Taiwan, at sa kabundukan ng hilagang Taiwan, habang may mahinang pag-ulan sa hilaga ng Taoyuan.

Sa Miyerkules, bababa ang temperatura sa Hilaga at Hilagang-silangan sa paligid ng 18°C hanggang 20°C. Mananatiling malamig sa buong araw, kaya kailangang maghanda ng panlamig at kagamitan sa ulan. Ang Gitna at Timog Taiwan naman ay patuloy na makakaranas ng malaking agwat ng temperatura sa araw at gabi.

Mula Huwebes ng gabi (2/26) hanggang Sabado (2/28), darating ang isa pang approaching front at lalawak ang sakop ng ulan. Magiging mataas ang halumigmig sa buong isla at mas matagal ang ulan. Magkakaroon ng mga showers sa Gitna, Hilaga, at Silangang bahagi ng bansa, at may tsansa rin ng ulan sa mga bundok sa Timog. Sa Hilaga at Silangan, ang temperatura ay nasa 21°C–22°C (high) at 17°C–19°C (low). Sa Gitna at Timog, ang taas ay 25°C–27°C at ang baba ay 19°C–20°C.

Sa Linggo (3/01), dahil sa cloud at rain belt mula sa South China, mananatili ang halumigmig at ulan sa Gitna, Hilaga, at Silangang Taiwan. Bahagyang tataas ang temperatura sa Hilagang Taiwan sa 22°C–23°C.
