Authorities are warning residents to prepare for severe rainfall today and Saturday, as strong winds and moisture from tropical storm Mekkhala trigger torrential downpours across Taiwan.
From midnight to 8:00 a.m. today, Pingtung’s Wandan Township recorded a maximum rainfall of 332 millimeters, while Tainan’s Guiren District logged 270 millimeters and Kaohsiung’s Xiaogang District saw 257 millimeters.
Flooding has been reported in several parts of Tainan, including the East,Ren-de, and Yong-kang Districts, with water reaching up to waist-deep levels in some areas.
Firefighters in the city are deploying inflatable boats to rescue trapped residents and traffic is gridlocked (交通嚴重堵塞) around a major national highway interchange.
The Taiwan Railway Corporation is also suspending services between Tainan's Yongkang and Kaohsiung's Gangshan stations, after flooding along railway tracks in southern Taiwan.
Independent meteorologist Wu Der-rong warns that the combination of an approaching weather front and tropical moisture will bring severe weather,including lightning strikes, strong wind gusts, and sudden downpours, across the entire island through Saturday.
