Taipei, May 14 (CNA) The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) issued a heat advisory for several municipalities across Taiwan on Friday, warning of daytime temperatures as high as 38 degrees Celsius in four of them.
Due to a thin cloud cover and a high pressure system, the mercury in Nantou and Pingtung counties and Tainan and Kaohsiung cities, all in the southern half of the country, will reach a high of 38 degrees Friday, the CWB said.
The bureau issued a "red" warning for the four municipalities, the highest in its three-level heat advisory system, which means temperatures of at least 38 degrees will prevail for three day in a row.
