Taiwan's "plum rains" were particularly heavy this year. The storms brought by the stationary front that creates the plum rains in June quickly raised water levels in the island's reservoirs to dangerous levels. In the center and south of the island, from the mountains to the coastal plains, there were almost daily reports of flooding and landslides.
今年台灣梅雨季雨量特別豐沛，六月初起梅雨鋒面滯留帶來的連日豪雨，很快地就使各處的水庫存水量達到警界線，台灣中南部各地，從山區到沿海，亦頻頻傳出水災，以及土石流的災情。
