Taipei, April 28 (CNA) Heavy rain will hit northern Taiwan Wednesday night as northeasterly winds approach Taiwan, according to the latest forecast by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).
But the weather system is only expected to destabilize weather conditions until Thursday morning because it should pass over the island very quickly.
Heavy showers and even thundershowers are possible in the northern half of Taiwan and the northeast overnight, while brief rain is forecast in mountainous regions in central and southern parts of the island, the CWB said.
Due to the expected rainfall, temperature highs in northern Taiwan could fall 1-2 degrees Celsius from a day earlier to 23-25 degrees Wednesday.

Taipei, April 24 (CNA) Rain is possible around Taiwan starting from Sunday due to an approaching cloud band and a weather front, but it is unlikely to relieve the ongoing drought, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said Saturday.
The CWB said a cloud band is expected to move in from eastern China on Sunday and will bring in rain, with brief showers possible in northern and eastern Taiwan, while precipitation is also likely in the mountainous areas in the western region, particularly in the afternoon.
