Chiayi County has called off any closure for Tuesday, a relief for commuters and parents after days of heavy rain.

• The county government says rain is easing and forecasts fall short of the threshold for shutting offices and schools.
• Work and classes go ahead as normal on August 25.
• A low-pressure band and southwest winds still bring the risk of heavy downpours in spots.
• Drivers are warned about sudden intense rain and poor road conditions, with 119 the number for emergencies.

Outlook: Scattered heavy rain remains likely even as the overall storm threat fades.
