Taiwan is experiencing sustained heavy rainfall due to a shifting frontal system and strengthening southwestern winds. Central and southern regions are particularly vulnerable to short-term torrential downpours and potential flooding. Authorities have issued warnings urging residents to prepare for hazardous conditions, including landslides and overflowing rivers. The rainfall is expected to persist through the weekend, with the most intense periods anticipated in the south. Conditions are forecast to gradually improve starting Tuesday as moisture levels decrease. Residents are advised to monitor official weather updates and heed evacuation orders if issued, and to avoid non-essential outdoor activities. The government has mobilized resources to address potential disaster response needs.
