FAQ

Why does the southwest monsoon cause heavy rain?

The southwest monsoon carries warm, moist air that rises over mountains, forming rain clouds. Taiwan's terrain enhances this effect.

What should I do when a heavy rain warning is issued?

Avoid unnecessary travel, stay indoors, keep away from mountains and rivers, and monitor official weather updates.

Where is the Hengchun Peninsula?

Located in Pingtung County, it's Taiwan's southernmost peninsula, known for tourism but vulnerable to landslides during heavy rain.
