Weekly Weather Alert: Typhoon Nanmadol Forms Near Southern Taiwan, Seven Counties Warned of Heavy Rain

By MOOK Scenic Spots, compiled and reported

The main impact on Taiwan will be before noon on July 3, with the possibility of a sea warning being issued. The impact on land is expected to be relatively minor, but due to strong convective cloud development, short periods of heavy rainfall are likely. There is a chance of localized heavy rain or torrential rain in Taoyuan City, Hsinchu County, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Pingtung County, mountainous areas of Yunlin and Chiayi. Localized heavy rain is also possible in the western, eastern, southeastern regions, as well as mountainous areas of northeastern Taiwan. Mountainous areas should beware of lightning strikes, strong gusts, and sudden rises in river water levels.

After the tropical low pressure associated with the typhoon moves away, from Tuesday, July 4 to Sunday, July 9, most areas will see mostly cloudy to sunny weather, with higher daytime temperatures and scattered brief thunderstorms in the afternoon. Temperatures will be typical of summer highs, with weekend highs reaching 34–35°C. Special attention should still be paid to sun protection and avoiding prolonged exposure to UV rays.
