October and November should be warmer than average: forecasters


There were at least 21 such days so far this year, while the rest of October as well as November could also be expected to be relatively warm, according to forecasters.

Over the past few days, Taichung witnessed a high of 38.3 degrees and Hsinchu 37.9 Celsius, both record highs for October in those cities.


October as a whole was likely to show an average temperature higher than in previous years, while November would also be mild but some indicators pointed in the direction of cold weather possible in December, reports said.

For the immediate future, Taipei could expect rain on Wednesday after the brief dry interval which marked Double Ten.
