This is more like it. Daily afternoon rain resulting in a cooler evening.

Yesterday was a wee bit more than “afternoon” showers. I got smashed in the evening on my bike!

Tell me about it. I forgot to pack the umbrella and got drenched walking to the scooter after work.

Another beautiful day out here at 白沙灣. It’s such a shame that the China Virus is hiding just below the surface of the water waiting to claim its next victim.

Thankfully the powers that be have saved us from taking our lives into our own hands by banning us from the beaches.

Here’s the live 白沙灣 beach cam - It’s just like being here. NOT

It sucks. I live here, but can’t use the beach, but Taiwanese flout the rules and nothing happens to them.

I take out my surfboard and I’m immediately accosted.

Sucks ass

Is it allowed to walk along the coast?

NO. NO. NO. But, if you don’t care about rules…and you’re Taiwanese…you can get away with it.

Looks like you may be stuck indoors watching Point Break (original version) for a bit longer.

This is a shame. Even with masks? What a joke! This is an island FFS

I knew it was raining heavy, but looks like that’s an understatement.

#1 today, so far, is the weather station at NTU in the Da’an district of Taipei.

312 mm of it !! That’s Typhoon type readings. And that’s about 100mm heavier than anywhere else in Taipei, seems a cloud must have parked itself overhead.

That does suck.

Those tents with the inflatables hanging up look pretty vulnerable if there’s a tropical storm coming. Has anybody got them in by now?

Maybe that NTU reading was false, as it has now disappeared.

#1 is now 215.5mm at Fuzhoushan in the Da’an district of Taipei.
