As Typhoon Nesat combined with a northeast monsoon to bring torrential rain to many parts of the country over the weekend, the Central Emergency Operation Center (CEOC) announced that by Sunday evening (Oct. 16) there had been 268 hazards across the country, including landslides that stranded 88 motorists in 254 vehicles.

The Central Weather Bureau lifted the sea warning for Typhoon Nesat at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. However, due to the impact of the northeast monsoon and the periphery of Nesat on Monday (Oct. 17), the weather is becoming cooler across the country, while a torrential rain advisory has been issued for Taipei City, an extremely heavy rain advisory has been issued for Keelung City and New Taipei City, and heavy rain advisory has been issued for Pingtung County, Hualien County, and Taitung County.

The National Fire Agency (NFA) said the CEOC at 7 p.m. on Sunday upgraded the situation to a Class 1 disaster. By that evening, there had been 268 hazards reported across the country, mainly consisting of floods and fallen trees on roads, with Taipei City seeing the most at 208 cases, 101 of which were instances of flooding.
