A strong cold air mass from China which arrived in Taiwan last Friday is likely to keep the weather cold and dry until Monday. That was the word from the Central Weather Bureau on Sunday.

The head of the bureau’s forecasting center, Cheng Ming-dean, said the cold front produced lows of 11-13 degrees Celsius in northern Taiwan on Sunday. Lows of 11-12 degrees were also expected in the north on Monday morning.

Forecasters say the cold air mass is likely to weaken starting on Tuesday with temperatures rebounding and a greater chance of occasional rain in the northern and eastern parts of Taiwan.

But another weather front is expected to bring precipitation on Wednesday and another drop in temperatures later in the day.    [FULL  STORY]
