[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] This year's first Meiyu front arrived on the 7th, bringing "timely rain" to Taiwan. Today (9th) the water vapor will decrease during the day.

Zheng Mingdian, director of the Central Meteorological Bureau, shared in a Facebook post in the morning, pointing out that a significant proportion of the rainfall in the rainy season comes from afternoon convection, but at present, "mountain waves are obvious" and "the development of afternoon convection will be relatively limited."

The first front of the rainy season arrived on the 7th, bringing a wave of abundant rainfall. The reservoirs in Taiwan received 25.49 million tons of rainwater in 2 days. Quench your thirst, but the water regime needs to be stabilized, pending the arrival of the stranded front during the rainy season.

Zheng Mingdian posted a post on Facebook this morning to share, pointing out that the "mountain wave is obvious" observed on the east side of the central mountain range, which means that the westerly air flow over the mountain is relatively stable, and the development of convection in the afternoon will be relatively limited.

He also pointed out that "in the statistical analysis, a significant proportion of the rainfall in the rainy season comes from afternoon convection".

In response to a netizen's question, can this situation be explained as "there is not enough water vapor in the cloud. Otherwise, if there is more water vapor, the mountain waves will not be visible?" Zheng Mingdian also agreed with this.

Other netizens also commented, "So the west side is still crying?", "I look forward to significant rainfall in the catchment area."
