Heavy rainfall is again expected in central and southern Taiwan starting
late today due to abundant moisture brought in by a stationary front and
southwesterly currents.

The Central Weather Bureau said following the departure of a tropical
depression that dumped a huge amount of rain in southern Taiwan over the
past two days, we’re getting a brief break from the wet weather during the
day today.

However, forecasters say a stationary front and southwesterly currents will
hit southern Taiwan late today, bringing heavy rain, before gradually
spreading to central Taiwan.

The rain is forecast to continue until the Dragon Boat Festival on Monday
and begin to ease on Tuesday.

The tropical depression, meanwhile, was upgraded to a tropical storm, at 2
a.m. today, moving in a northeasterly direction toward Japan.    [SOURCE]
