Cold wave hits Taiwan over the weekend
Cold wave hits Taiwan over the weekend
2025-02-07
The third cold wave this winter season is coming this weekend. Temperatures began dipping on Friday, and are expected to fall below 10 degrees in Northern Taiwan in the plains, and to 4 to 5 degrees near mountains. Some mountainous areas with altitudes of over 3,000m might see snowfall.
A thick layer of frost is glazed over the flooring at Paiyun Lodge in Yushan and over tree branches. At 6 a.m., the mercury dipped to -2°C. The third cold wave this winter season is not to be taken lightly. It’ll be colder starting on Friday all the way through the weekend, especially in the north and northeast.

Let’s look at the plains first. Basically, the effect of this cold spell will be most apparent from the 8th to early morning on the 9th. But there may still be lows below 10°C by the 10th. In fact, over these two days, lows may dip to around 6°C, or even 4°C or 5°C in areas near the mountains. And of course in some areas in Miaoli, the temperatures could be even lower.
The coldest time will be around daybreak this coming Saturday and Sunday. And due to less air moisture and radiative cooling, it’ll feel even colder on Sunday. According to the Central Weather Administration, the zero-degree temperatures will be found even at just 1,000m above sea level. Therefore, even Qixing Mountain and Datun Mountain in Taipei have a chance of snow.

It’s expected that from the 7th to early morning on the 8th, there may be a chance of snow in tall mountains more than 3,000m above sea level in Central Taiwan. As for the evening of the 7th to early morning on the 9th, in the northern and northeastern regions, there may be a chance of snow in tall mountains more than 1,000m above sea level.
The number of cold days in which temperatures dipped below 14°C in Taipei this winter season broke a 10-year record, making it the coldest winter of the decade. So be sure to bundle up and stay warm.

寒流又來! 北部探十度以下 大屯山.七星山"有望追雪"
2025-02-07
入冬第三波寒流，週五開始南下，氣溫驟降、越晚越冷，氣象署提醒，週六、週日清晨是最冷時間點，北部平地都在10度以下，近山區可能出現4到5度的低溫，如果條件配合，除了3000公尺以上高山，北部1000公尺的大屯山、七星山，也有機會飄雪。
玉山排雲山莊，路面結滿厚厚冰晶，樹木也都結冰，清晨六點多，氣溫達到零下2度。入冬第三波寒流發威，北部、東北部首當其衝，週五開始，會越來越冷。

“先以平地來說，平地的話基本上，目前看這波寒流影響，最明顯的時間，就是在8號(到)9號清晨，那其實甚至到了10號清晨，也還是會有10度以下的低溫發生。其實在這兩天，都是有機會在近山區出現，大概6度左右，那甚至可能是4度、5度的低溫，當然在一些像是苗栗局部地區，也有可能再出現再低一些的溫度。”
週六、週日兩天清晨，是最冷時間點，尤其週日水氣減少，受到輻射冷卻影響，體感溫度還會更冷，氣象署表示，由於0度線已經降到1000公尺左右，七星山、大屯山都有機會下雪。

“預計在7號到8號清晨這段時間，在中部地區，可能3000公尺以上的高山，是有機會下雪，至於其實在7號晚上到，9號清晨這段時間，就要留意在北部跟東北部地區，1000公尺以上的高山，其實是有機會下雪的。”
算一算，入冬以來，台北站溫度低於14度的天數，遠高於過去9年數據，也成為近10年來最冷冬天。寒流發威，全提醒民眾務必做好保暖。
