Taipei, Aug. 25 (CNA) The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) has lifted its land and sea warnings for Tropical Storm Bailu, which swept through southern Taiwan on Saturday, but warned that parts of Taiwan could still see heavy rainfall.

The CWB lifted its land warning for Bailu at 8:30 a.m. Sunday and its sea warning at 11:30 a.m., saying that it was no longer a threat to Taiwan as it was moving in a west-northwest direction and was expected to weaken to a tropical depression.

Due to the peripheral effects of the storm, however, heavy rain will continue to affect Tainan and Kaohsiung in the south, Yilan and Hualien in the east, and the offshore counties of Penghu and Kinmen, the bureau said.

It also issued an extremely heavy rain warning for Taitung and Pingtung.    [FULL  STORY]
