Taipei: Temperatures around Taiwan are forecast to reach up to 33 degrees Celsius from Thursday as a weather front weakens later this week, according to the Central Weather Administration (CWA). CWA forecaster Huang En-hung informed that moisture levels are expected to drop as the front weakens, leading to more stable and increasingly hot conditions from Thursday.
