The Central Weather Administration warns that heavy rain will affect parts of
Taiwan through to the middle of the week as the island moves into the active
phase of the annual plum rain season.

Forecasters say the heaviest rainfall is expected tomorrow and Wednesday ...
as a weather front combines with southwesterly winds to bring unstable
conditions across much of the island.

Western and northeastern Taiwan, along with mountainous areas in the east and
southeast, could see thunderstorms and localized heavy downpours.

Other regions are also expected to experience periods of rain and
thunderstorms during the week.

The weather administration says conditions should improve somewhat on
Thursday as the front moves south, although central and southern Taiwan could
still see scattered showers.

Another increase in rainfall is possible from Friday into Saturday as the
front shifts north again, bringing wetter weather to western Taiwan and
mountain areas in the east.
