Southern Taiwan is bracing for continued heavy rainfall due to the persistent influence of the southwest monsoon. Alerts are in place for areas south of Chiayi, urging residents to prepare for potential downpours today. The monsoon is expected to maintain its strength, and a low-pressure system will reinforce the wet conditions next week. This system will likely bring prolonged rain to the southern regions. Authorities are advising caution regarding potential landslides and flooding, especially in mountainous areas. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and heed any evacuation warnings issued. The continuous rainfall is expected to impact daily life and transportation in the affected areas.
