The Central Weather Bureau says hot weather will continue into next week across Taiwan, as a high pressure system from the Pacific blankets the nation.
Forecasters say that between Sunday and Thursday, the high pressure system will gradually strengthen. Daytime highs in all parts of Taiwan are expected to climb to 35 degrees Celsius, with thundershowers or heavy rain in the afternoon, particularly in mountainous areas.
Meteorologists say that all parts of Taiwan can expect dangerous ultraviolet radiation that will reach a level 11 or above, except for Yilan, Taitung, Taichung, Changhua, Lienjiang and Kinmen counties and cities. Those areas will see the index hit slightly lower levels ranging between 8-10.
The weather bureau says we can expect some relief with afternoon thundershowers in many areas starting on Thursday.
