Taipei, Oct. 27 (CNA) The weather in northern Taiwan will turn dry and cool Saturday as seasonal northeasterly winds strengthen and areas from Chiayi northward could see temperatures falling to 16 degrees Celsius at night, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).

Sunny to partly cloudy skies with sporadic showers are expected around the country as northeasterly winds bring dry air southward, with daytime highs forecast at 23-25 degrees in northern and northeastern Taiwan, 26-27 degrees in the east and 30-31 degrees in the central and southern parts of the island, CWB forecaster Cheng Chuan-fang (程川芳) said.
