By MOOK Scenic Spots Family / Compiled and Reported

Due to the influence of a low-pressure zone, Taiwan is under special warnings for heavy and torrential rain over the weekend. Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung must be on high alert for torrential rain; Keelung, New Taipei, Taipei City, Taoyuan, Miaoli, Hsinchu, and Taichung are also under heavy rain alerts. The Central Weather Bureau continues to issue heavy and torrential rain warnings. Areas from Taichung northward to New Taipei, Keelung’s northern coast, and mountainous regions of Taipei City are prone to short-term heavy rainfall, with localized heavy rain likely to occur. Pingtung, Kaohsiung, and Tainan still face the possibility of localized heavy or torrential rain. Be alert for lightning strikes and strong gusts. With the high tide, coastal low-lying areas should be cautious of flooding, while mountainous regions should watch out for landslides, falling rocks, and sudden rises in river water levels.
