Affected by the tropical depression combined with the southwest monsoon, from August 24 to 25, there will be showers or thunderstorms in central and southern Taiwan, southeastern areas, and Penghu, with the possibility of localized torrential or heavier rainfall. Other regions may also experience brief showers or thunderstorms.
The tropical depression located on the southwestern side of Taiwan does not rule out the possibility of developing into a typhoon.
Although this tropical depression on the southwestern side of Taiwan has not yet developed into a typhoon, its intensity is no less than that of a typhoon, and there is also the possibility of it evolving into one. If it does form, it will be named Typhoon No. 21 “Tsubame,” and both maritime and land warnings will be issued simultaneously.
As the southwest monsoon continues to affect Taiwan, the weather will be rainy over the next week. The outer circulation of the tropical depression will maintain its influence, so strong winds and heavy rains still need to be guarded against.
Typhoon No. 19 Soulik and Typhoon No. 20 Cimaron have weakened to mild typhoons and are about to transition into extratropical cyclones. Both are located near the Sea of Japan, affecting the weather in Japan and South Korea. Areas such as Osaka and northeastern Japan have just experienced wind and rain. Travelers planning to visit Japan or South Korea in the coming days should continue to monitor local weather changes.
