Typhoon Trami, a "mini" typhoon with a radius of just 100 km, closed in on southern Taiwan on July 11. The storm had been downgraded to a tropical depression by the time it passed over land that evening, but no sooner had the typhoon warning been lifted than the ensuing weather system unleashed a torrential downpour on Kaohsiung, causing the worst flooding in the city's history.
暴風半徑僅有八十公里的輕度迷你颱風「潭美」，於七月十一日過境台灣。沒想到颱風警報解除不久，接踵而至的旺盛西南氣流卻在大高雄地區引發暴雨，造成高雄有史以來最大洪患，災情慘重。
