Even though a tropical storm, named Songda, formed in the Pacific, will not approach Taiwan, another 
storm Aere is expected to continue bringing rain to much of the island during the three-day National Day weekend, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) forecast on Sunday.
Songda was situated about 3,500 kilometers east of Eluanbi, Taiwan’s southernmost point, Saturday night. The CWB predicted the storm to head north and miss Taiwan.
Meanwhile, the out fringes of tropical Aere, which centered about 300 km west of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan Sunday morning, will continue to bring rain to Taiwan in the next few days, but its influence will gradually weakened, according to the CWB.
On Sunday and Monday, parts of the north and east could experience heavy rainfall as the first cool front of the autumn moves into Taiwan, and occasional rain may also occur in central and southern areas, the CWB said. [FULL STORY]
