Recent Central Weather Administration forecasts point to daytime highs near 33–35 °C for Taipei on 8 August, driven by the persistent subtropical ridge and East Asian summer monsoon moisture, though scattered afternoon thundershowers could cap peaks through evaporative cooling and cloud cover. Nearby tropical systems, including Dolphin, are adding steering-flow uncertainty that may shift rain timing and intensity. These factors place the market-implied 49.5 % probability for 32 °C or higher in line with model spread around the seasonal 32–33 °C climatological average, while lower bins capture downside risk from stronger convection. New official model runs and satellite observations over the next 48 hours will likely tighten the range before resolution.
