Heavy rains cause flooding all over Taiwan
Heavy rains cause flooding all over Taiwan
2026-06-08
On Monday, southwesterly winds and a stationary front brought heavy rains to much of the country. Many areas from the north to the south reported flooding, including Kaohsiung, Tainan and Taipei. The flooding in some areas reached almost to the top of car tires, causing disruptions to traffic and even a casualty.
Taipei’s plane-sighting alley, officially Lane 180 of Binjiang Street, is now so heavily flooded that a black sedan got stuck while another car quickly turns around at the sight.
The streets outside the main campus of Soochow University in Shilin have also turned into streams. Vehicles struggle to move, let alone pedestrians.
Over in Kaohsiung, the water has almost reached the top of tires. Huge splatters form even when driving on low speed.
Worse, the heavy rain and floods occurred during the morning rush hour. It was already too late for those heading to work on a scooter to turn around. Even with the tires almost entirely submerged, they hanged on and continued forward.
This sighting of vehicles-turned-boats was on Chengguan Road in Kaohsiung’s Renwu District. The rainfall was so heavy that the flood was formed within half an hour.
On the other side, on Fengren Road, also in Renwu District, the water has reached the ankles.
Over in Sanmin District, Kaohsiung, on the intersection of Mingcheng 1st Road and Dingshan Street, a drainage cover thudded up-and-down from the overflow underneath. Water jets erupted through the cracks, making a loud hum. The cover could almost fly off.
The rain also pummeled Tainan, flooding the intersection of Fuqian Road and Jinhua Road in West Central District.
The area around Xiluo Temple, also in West Central District was heavily flooded, too. A scooter quickly braked and turned around, afraid that the water would damage the engine.
In South District, low visibility caused a car driver to ram into an electricity pole. Fortunately, the driver only sustained minor injuries, and was taken to the hospital by emergency service.

豪雨釀災! 高雄、台南、台北部份路段"馬路變水路"
2026-06-08
受滯留鋒面、西南氣流影響，週一全台多個縣市下起大雨，包括高雄仁武區部分道路積水，汽機車猶如陸上行舟；台南中西區部份路段是汪洋一片；位在台北的東吳大學外雙溪校區，校園外淹成小河，台北市濱江街飛機巷，還有自小客車因此泡在水中動彈不得。
台北市飛機巷濱江街180巷，黑色轎車卡在大片積水汪洋中動彈不得，另一輛自小客車趕快迴轉掉頭走人。
就連東吳大學外雙溪校區，校園外也淹成小河，別說行人，就連汽車也寸步難移。
鏡頭轉到高雄，馬路的水都淹到輪胎高了，涉水的車子，稍微一加速，就濺起超高水花。
這場大雨就下在上班時間，遇上淹水，更苦的是機車騎士，四分之三的輪胎都在水裡了，還是得冒險衝一波，彷彿在練平衡感，搖搖晃晃慢慢騎。
陸上行舟的奇景，就發生在高雄仁武區澄觀路，雨下大又大又急，半小時內，水就淹上來。
另外這頭，仁武區鳳仁路同樣也淹到腳踝。
高雄三民區明誠一路、鼎山街口，馬路人孔蓋被水壓頂得不斷跳動，水柱不斷從路面下方爆發，伴隨陣陣轟鳴，幾乎快要原地噴飛。
大雨同樣狂炸台南，中西區的府前路、金華路口，馬路汪洋一片。
中西區的西羅殿旁，同樣嚴重積水，就怕涉水而過，機車引擎會泡水，騎士見狀趕緊煞車調頭。
南區還有一名汽車駕駛，因為看不清楚前方道路，自撞電線桿。所幸這名駕駛只受到輕傷，救護人員簡單包紮後，將人送醫。
