Affected by the front, short-duration heavy rainfall is likely to occur in various places. The Kaohsiung City Government announced earlier today (26th) that due to heavy rain in the mountainous areas of Kaohsiung City and considering the safety of teachers and students, Baoshan Elementary School in Taoyuan District will stop working and classes from 15:00.
The Meteorological Administration stated that due to the influence of the front today (26th), the weather is quite unstable. There are likely to be short-term showers or thunderstorms in various places. There may be local heavy rains in the western half of the country and Penghu, Kinmen and Malaysia, and there may even be local heavy rains in the central and southern areas. Chances are, this type of convective cloud system requires special attention to short-duration heavy rainfall, accompanied by lightning strikes and strong wind gusts. Please pay attention to safety when driving. Although there will be some gaps between rainfalls and even sunlight, it is still recommended to go out. It is useful to carry rain gear.
The Meteorological Administration reminds that two waves of fronts are expected to affect Taiwan in the next week. The weather is quite unstable. Please step up clearing ditches. When convection develops strongly, it is likely to be accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall, lightning strikes, strong gusts and other more severe weather phenomena. Please go out. Pay attention to weather changes and pay attention to safety.
The Meteorological Bureau also issued an instant warning of severe thunderstorms for “Pingtung County” earlier, which will last until 15:45. Please be careful of severe rainfall, lightning strikes, strong gusts above level 9, and low visibility.
