Get the rain boots ready and have an umbrella on hand, because the moisture-laden southwesterly winds and low-pressure system are going to keep drenching Taiwan until next Tuesday. And don’t expect the sun to come back any time soon, because next week Typhoon Saudel is expected to keep growing in strength as it gets closer to Taiwan.
The rain’s really coming down in New Taipei, so much so that water is now gushing up onto the roads, turning Xindian’s streets into canals.
Sanxia Old Street is dealing with flooding, too. There’s no sewer in front of this temple that houses Mazu, which is why the pouring rains have left the temple submerged in water.
Down south, Kaohsiung is dealing with strong winds and heavy rains. But outside Vieshow Cinemas there’s still a long line of people putting up with the bad weather just to watch “Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid Island.”
The rain won’t even let up for Taiwan’s newly crowned richest person: Lin Tsung-chi. The street outside Lin’s factory is more like a waterway than a roadway.
- Has the water flooded in?
- It hasn’t. It hasn’t gotten into the factory.
- Of course I worry, because the water keeps rising higher.
This bridge in Tainan’s Rende District is dealing with 50cm of floodwater. In order to prevent a dangerous situation, traffic was re-routed. And in Pingtung the rains there are also playing rough; cars that brave the flooded roads are leaving wakes of water behind them.

Meteorologist
Due to the strong southwesterly winds and the low-pressure system, up until Monday the weather will remain relatively unstable. Then, on Tuesday and Wednesday, we can see there’ll likely be a brief break in the weather, mainly because the low-pressure system will move westward as it gets farther away from Taiwan.
And here’s more bad news: Typhoon Saudel seems to be evolving into a severe typhoon.
Yeh Chih-chun
Meteorologist
The conditions of the ocean and atmosphere around the typhoon are quite favorable, so the typhoon is expected to steadily strengthen over the next few days. Based on the current data, it’s expected to continue moving steadily toward the northwest. Experts are anticipating that, by Wednesday, it’ll reach the waters near the Ryukyu Islands.
As it grows in strength, Typhoon Saudel is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rains, which is why weather watchers will be paying close attention to whether or not the tropical storm will hit Taiwan directly.
