So it did, recurve, as advertised, and it was windy for a few hours but nothing serious. Down the mountain it was relatively calm. 27mm in the guage and no huge falls throughout Taiwan.

New typhoon coming behind it - will be another week before that gets anywhere near us.

Meanwhile, there's a serious looking rain band stretching up the west coast - not sure if that's typhoon related or a mei yu front but they've had 40+mm in the last hour up there.
