Although Typhoon Mekkhala has weakened into a tropical storm and won’t make landfall in Taiwan, it is expected to bring at least three days of rain as it moves toward Japan, starting on Thursday. This is due to southwesterly winds and a weather front coming from the north. On Thursday, most of Southern Taiwan will see short bursts of rain, while on Friday, western and southeastern regions can expect prolonged heavy rains. Let’s hear from a meteorologist.

On Thursday, there may be short bursts of extremely heavy rains in Southern Taiwan. Throughout the day, there will be brief showers or thunderstorms at irregular intervals, and the chance of rain will be noticeably high. As for other regions, brief showers or thunderstorms at irregular intervals are possible too, especially after midday when convective currents strengthen. On Friday and Saturday, due to the effect of the weather front, there may be brief showers or thunderstorms in every region, especially in the west and southeast, where the rainfall will be more prolonged and noticeable.
The rainfall will persist for three consecutive days, and will only ease next week. Visitors to Japan are reminded that from Friday to Sunday, flights in four Japanese airports may be rescheduled due to the storm. They are Okinawa’s Naha Airport, Nagoya’s Chubu Centrair International Airport, as well as Tokyo’s Haneda and Narita International Airport.
