Heavy rainfall continued on Tuesday with floods reported in many areas in Northern Taiwan, including in Taoyuan and Keelung. Fallen branches were posing a hazard to road users, though fortunately no casualties were reported.
A large branch has collapsed onto transmission cables. A maintenance team shortly arrives on scene to saw it off by hand, to remove the road safety hazard. The borough warden warns passers-by to stay away.
There seems to be no end to the heavy showers. In the morning, here on Zhonghe Road in Keelung, the branch had fallen all of a sudden. Fortunately, it did not land directly onto the street. But it’s still suspended over a bus stop, so a city councilor stepped in.

The branch did not fall all the way onto the ground, but it’s putting a lot of strain on the four high-voltage cables. It’s also right above a bus stop, so we treated the removal as an emergency.
Meanwhile, the heavy downpours have flooded the intersection of Lunhou Road and Heping West Road in Taoyuan’s Dayuan District.
With the water reaching the calves, it’s as if the streets have turned into streams. It’s difficult for cars to move through the flood. A city councilor is pictured shoveling mud for better drainage. He’s also reported the flooding to the district office, and it’s cleared in about an hour.
On the other side of town, shrubs above the side slope are collapsing onto the street below. Large amounts of mud and rocks are strewn all over the road surface on Section 3, Dakeng Road in Guishan District, near Weitian Temple. Fortunately, it did not hit any vehicle or passer-by. Plum rains brought in by the stationary front and strong southwesterly winds have left many places flooded in Northern Taiwan. Even though the weather front will soon move away, the south will still get heavy rainfall.

Tomorrow, even though the weather front will move southward slightly, there will still be heavy rain or localized downpours in Central and Southern Taiwan, and mountainous areas of Hualien and Taitung. Another rainy spell will return in the north on Friday as the weather front moves southward above the Bashi Channel on Thursday. With the influence of the southwesterly winds again, this rainy spell will begin on Friday and persist until next Monday or Tuesday.
Even though the rain may seem quite heavy already, the heaviest is still yet to come near the end of the week and persist over the weekend.

梅雨季最強雨勢發威! 桃園.基隆路樹驚傳倒塌
2026-06-09
梅雨鋒面、強盛西南氣流發威，北台灣這兩天多處地區傳出淹水災情，周二一早桃園大園區崙后路與和平西路段發生嚴重淹水，龜山區大坑路三段也出現兩處路樹坍塌，就連基隆中和路上，一早山坡樹木也意外倒塌卡在電纜線上，台電緊急斷電搶救，氣象署提醒，這還只是第一波降雨。
巨型樹根懸空橫倒電纜線上，工程團隊緊急到場手動鋸除，就怕民眾經過會有危險，里長也趕緊廣播提醒。
大雨下不停，基隆中和路上，一早山坡樹木突然倒塌，還好沒有直接砸落，但掉落位置鄰近公車站牌，議員接獲通報，第一時間到場協助。

“樹木沒有完全掉落到地面上，但是這四條高壓纜線承載著蠻巨大的壓力，剛好又坐落在一個公車站牌的上方，所以就儘快的做一些緊急處置。”
猛烈雨勢，就連桃園大園區崙后路與和平西路口，也嚴重淹水。
整條馬路淹成河道，水深將近小腿肚，就連汽車涉水前進也相當吃力，議員動手鏟土排水，同步通知公所處理，大約一個小時清理完畢。
另一邊，邊坡大樹橫倒馬路上，大量泥土與碎石散落路面，桃園龜山區大坑路三段，威天宮附近、150巷路段一早發生樹木坍塌，還好沒有波及人車。梅雨鋒面與強盛西南氣流發威，北台灣多處地區傳出淹水災情，接下來鋒面移動，南部地區雨勢依舊不能輕忽。
[[氣象預報中心副主任 伍婉華]]
“明天會隨著鋒面稍微向南移動，但是預計在中南部地區、花東山區還是會有大雨或局部性的豪雨，而第二波降雨將會隨著星期四鋒面南移到巴士海峽以後，到星期五會再度北移上台灣的上空，而且西南風再度影響，星期五開始影響的這道鋒面會持續到下禮拜一、二左右。”
今年結構最完整的梅雨鋒面來報到，氣象署提醒，這還只是第一波降雨，週末降雨還會再增強，民眾得多加嚴防。
