Taipei, Aug. 30 (CNA) High temperatures and occasional showers are forecast for areas around Taiwan on Sunday, but the weather should cool down Monday due to the peripheral effects of Typhoon Maysak, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).

Daytime highs of 33-35 degrees Celsius will prevail around Taiwan on Sunday, and northern and northeastern Taiwan should see sporadic showers as Taiwan comes under the influence of northeasterly winds, the CWB said.

Afternoon thunderstorms are also forecast for mountainous areas around the island.

On Monday, Taiwan will start to feel the effects of Typhoon Maysak, the ninth Pacific storm this year. The storm, which will track over waters east of Taiwan, should bring showers and cooler weather to northern Taiwan, according to the bureau.    [FULL  STORY]
