There will be heavy rain along Keelung's north coast and in mountainous areas of Greater Taipei. On Saturday, sporadic brief showers are expected in areas north of Taoyuan, Keelung's north coast, mountainous regions of Greater Taipei, and northeastern Taiwan.As the seasonal winds weaken on Sunday and Monday, regions including Keelung's north coast, the Greater Taipei area, and eastern Taiwan are likely to experience sporadic showers, while the rest of the country will see cloudy to sunny weather.
