TAIPEI -- Residents of many parts of Taiwan
may have to endure what feel like below zero temperatures
from Jan. 23 to 25 as the worst cold wave in 10 years sweeps the country, the
Central Weather Bureau said Tuesday.
The
mercury is forecast to drop on Jan. 23, but the coldest temperatures are
expected to be seen on Jan. 24 and 25, and "apparent temperatures" —
the temperature the human body feels — could fall below zero, the bureau said.
On Jan. 23, the
apparent temperature could reach lows of 6 degrees in New Taipei, 5 degrees in Taipei , 4 degrees in Taichung
and Kaohsiung , 2 degrees in Tainan ,
1 degree in Hsinchu County , and zero degrees in Hsinchu
City and Miaoli County .
On Jan. 24, the
apparent temperature could fall to a low of minus 1 degree in Hsinchu City
and to a low of minus 1 to minus 2 degrees the following day in Hsinchu County ,
Hsinchu City
and Miaoli County , bureau data showed.
Over those two
days, apparent temperatures could dip to 2-3 degrees in Taipei ,
3-4 degrees in New Taipei, 2 degrees in Taichung ,
2-3 degrees in Kaohsiung and 1 degree in Tainan , all roughly 3-5
degrees lower than the actual recorded temperature.
The Central Weather
Bureau said the apparent temperature factors in relative humidity and the
effect of the wind, with the latter expected to be the main factor this
weekend.
It said a wind
speed of more than 36 kilometers per hour can push the apparent temperature 6
degrees below the actual temperature.
Even without
humidity and wind speeds factored in, this weekend's cold front
is expected to be the worst since 2005, when temperatures of 5.6 Celsius
degrees in Taipei and 4.4 degrees in Chiayi were recorded on March 6 that year.
