Under the influence of northeasterly winds and rain system brought by Typhoon Lionrock, cooler temperatures and heavy rains are expected across Taiwan, with northern part of the island being affected the most, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said Sunday.

Cooler temperatures and heavy rains are on the way for Taiwan from late Sunday into early Tuesday, as the effects of northeasterly winds and rain system brought by Typhoon Lionrock show early signs of autumn this year.

Temperatures in northern Taiwan are expected to drop to 25-26 degrees, according to the latest forecast. The CWB has issued a heavy rain warning for 10 cities and counties in central and northern Taiwan on Sunday, including Keelung, New Taipei, Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Nantou, and Yilan.

Meanwhile, the 10th tropical storm of this year, Lionrock, is moving northeast towards eastern side of Japan and poised to make landfall in the Northeast Asian nation early in the new week.     [FULL  STORY]
