TEMBIN made landfall in Pingtung County, southern Taiwan, early Friday, having dumped 500 mm of rain on parts of southern and southeastern Taiwan over a 10-hour period, before moving out to sea shortly after.

The storm could turn toward Taiwan again and dump more rain this weekend, according to the country’s Central Weather Bureau.
TEMBIN could interact with the approaching Typhoon BOLAVEN, by which time the latter, now a category 3 typhoon, could have intensified to a super storm.
