Recent Central Weather Bureau forecasts for Taipei show daytime highs of 27–34°C on August 28 under partly cloudy to overcast skies with possible afternoon showers, while ensemble models diverge on the strength of convective cooling versus brief clear intervals that could allow peaks near 34–35°C. Late-August climatology places average maxima at 32–34°C amid high humidity and frequent monsoon-related instability, with historical extremes reaching the mid-30s when subsidence strengthens. These competing signals—steering patterns, boundary-layer moisture, and timing of any thunderstorms—create substantial uncertainty around the precise daily maximum, keeping market-implied probabilities evenly balanced across temperature bins. Updated model runs and the next official CWB briefing will likely sharpen resolution criteria for the highest observed temperature.
