(FWA 2026/1/7)According to data released by the Central Weather Administration on January 6, due to the arrival of a strong continental cold air mass combined with the effects of radiative cooling, low temperatures will persist from Wednesday (Jan. 7) through the weekend. The Administration warns that mornings and nights will be very cold from Wednesday to Saturday, urging the public to be alert for temperatures dropping below 10 degrees Celsius.

The Central Weather Administration explained that from Wednesday to Thursday (Jan. 8), under the influence of the strong continental cold air mass and radiative cooling, Central and Northern Taiwan, Yilan, Hualien, Kinmen, and Matsu will be cold throughout the day. Other regions will feel cold in the mornings and evenings, and cool during the day. Low temperatures in Central and Northern Taiwan and Yilan will drop to around 10-11 degrees; Southern Taiwan, Hualien, Taitung, and Penghu will see approximately 12-14 degrees; while Kinmen and Matsu will drop to around 9-11 degrees.

From Friday (Jan. 9) to Saturday (Jan. 10) daytime, although the strong continental cold air mass will gradually weaken, radiative cooling will remain significant. Low temperatures across various regions will still range between 9 and 15 degrees, with Central and Northern Taiwan and Yilan specifically seeing lows of around 9-11 degrees.

From Saturday night to Sunday (Jan. 11), affected by the Northeast Monsoon, daytime temperatures in Northern Taiwan will drop slightly, and the weather will remain cold in the mornings and evenings across all regions.

The Central Weather Administration reminds the public that due to the cold air combined with radiative cooling, temperatures early in the morning and at night are low. Please ensure to keep warm and pay attention to low-temperature advisories. For high mountain areas, be aware of potential road icing. When using gas water heaters and electrical heating appliances, ensure indoor ventilation and electrical safety to prevent respiratory and cardiovascular diseases caused by low temperatures.

Malakas na Continental Cold Air Mass at Radiative Cooling, Magdadala ng Mababang Temperatura mula Miyerkules hanggang Weekend

Ayon sa datos na inilabas ng Central Weather Administration noong Enero 6, dahil sa pagdating ng malakas na continental cold air mass na sinabayan ng epekto ng radiative cooling, mararanasan ang tuloy-tuloy na mababang temperatura mula Miyerkules (Ene. 7) hanggang sa weekend. Nagpaalala ang ahensya na magiging napakalamig sa umaga at gabi mula Miyerkules hanggang Sabado, at pinag-iingat ang lahat sa temperaturang maaaring bumaba sa ilalim ng 10 degrees.

Ipinaliwanag ng Central Weather Administration na mula Miyerkules hanggang Huwebes (Ene. 8), dahil sa epekto ng malakas na continental cold air mass at radiative cooling, magiging malamig sa buong araw sa Central at Northern Taiwan, Yilan, Hualien, Kinmen, at Matsu. Sa ibang mga lugar naman, magiging malamig sa umaga at gabi, at presko sa tanghali. Ang mababang temperatura sa Central at Northern Taiwan at Yilan ay aabot sa 10-11 degrees; sa Southern Taiwan, Hualien, Taitung, at Penghu ay nasa 12-14 degrees; habang sa Kinmen at Matsu ay nasa 9-11 degrees.

Mula Biyernes (Ene. 9) hanggang Sabado (Ene. 10) ng tanghali, unti-unting hihina ang malakas na continental cold air mass, ngunit mananatiling malinaw ang epekto ng radiative cooling. Ang mababang temperatura sa iba’t ibang lugar ay mananatili sa 9-15 degrees, lalo na sa Central at Northern Taiwan at Yilan na aabot sa 9-11 degrees.

Mula Sabado ng gabi hanggang Linggo (Ene. 11), dahil sa Northeast Monsoon, bahagyang bababa ang temperatura sa tanghali sa Northern Taiwan, at mananatiling malamig ang panahon sa umaga at gabi sa lahat ng lugar.

Paalala ng Central Weather Administration, dahil sa malamig na hangin at radiative cooling, mababa ang temperatura tuwing madaling araw at gabi. Siguraduhing panatilihing mainit ang katawan at bigyang-pansin ang mga low-temperature advisory. Sa mga matataas na bundok, mag-ingat sa posibleng pagyeyelo ng kalsada. Kapag gumagamit ng gas water heaters at electrical heating appliances, tiyakin ang bentilasyon sa loob ng bahay at kaligtasan sa kuryente upang maiwasan ang mga sakit sa respiratory at cardiovascular na dulot ng mababang temperatura.
