(CWB image) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) predicts that Tropical Storm Choi-wan (彩雲) will swing north towards Taiwan on Thursday (June 4), when it will bring rain to southern Taiwan, which will be followed by a plum rain weather front that will arrive on Friday (June 5), delivering still more precipitation. According to the CWB, moisture brought from Choi-wan as it moves north towards Taiwan on June 4 will likely bring short-term showers to southeast, central, and southern Taiwan in the afternoon that day. The weather bureau said that the tropical storm will gradually weaken to a tropical depression on the same day, and for that reason, the rains it brings to Taiwan are not expected to be torrential.
Taipei, May 31 (CNA) With the continued influence of a wet weather front, rainfall is forecast to continue in northeastern and western Taiwan Monday, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).
