The impact on Taiwan will mainly be before noon on July 3, with the possibility of a maritime warning being issued. The impact on land will be relatively minor, but due to vigorous convective cloud development, there is a likelihood of short-duration heavy rainfall. 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 western, eastern, southeastern regions, as well as mountainous areas of northeastern Taiwan. Those in mountainous areas should be cautious 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 experience mostly cloudy to sunny weather, with higher daytime temperatures and localized brief thunderstorms in the afternoon. Temperatures will be typical of summer highs, with weekend temperatures possibly reaching 34–35°C. Sun protection and avoiding prolonged exposure to UV rays remain especially important.
