Taipei, June 2 (CNA) Rain is in the forecast for much of Taiwan Thursday a day after record-setting high temperatures, with possible brief showers or thundershowers occurring first in the northern and northeastern parts of the country, the Central Weather Bureau said.

There are chances of relatively heavy downpours in local areas, the bureau said.

Daytime highs are expected to range between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius but in Taipei, it could feel like 41 degrees because of humid conditions, it said.

Rain could fall before noon in northern and northeastern Taiwan because of a weather front, with the rest of the country also likely to see showers later in the day, according to the bureau.     [FULL  STORY]
