The equatorial Pacific sea temperature is relatively warmer at the moment, which is likely to reduce humidity across the nation and cause temperatures to rise further, Weather Forecast Center Deputy Director Fong Chin-tzu (馮欽賜) said, adding that the phenomenon would be particularly apparent next month and in April.
The spring weather forecast for this year generally corresponds to the trend that has emerged since the 1990s, with rain in the west coast decreasing over the years, Fong said.
