The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) says that some mountainous areas in Taiwan reported snow on Saturday as a cold, moist air mass passed over the island.

Snow was reported on Yushan, Taiwan's highest mountain, which is also known as Jade Mountain. According to the CWB, the 3,952-meter peak saw a total accumulation of 3.7 cm.
