The mercury plummeted to 7.3 degrees Celsius in the southern county of Chiayi yesterday morning, the lowest temperature recorded so far this winter in Taiwan's low-lying plains, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).
The Central Weather Bureau attributed the 7.3 C temperature -- recorded along the flat Chiayi coast at 6:58 a.m. before the sun rose -- to the onslaught of the winter's first cold front from the north and clear skies that have maximized radiative cooling overnight. In mountainous areas, the CWB recorded temperatures of 0.4 C on Alishan (Mt. Ali) in eastern Chiayi at 12:12 a.m. Wednesday, and minus 6.3 C on Yushan (Mt. Jade), Taiwan's highest mountain, at 5:22 a.m. No snow fell in the two areas, however, due to a low level of humidity, the bureau said.
