The weather remains unstable after Dragon Boat Festival, with rain expected in various regions. The Central Weather Bureau forecasts that tomorrow (6/10) marks the Dragon Boat Festival, a day when many people plan outings or outdoor activities. Due to a frontal boundary forming over the northern Taiwan and the influence of southwest winds, the weather will be relatively unstable as moisture is brought in by the southwest winds over the next week, leading to possible rainfall across the whole Taiwan for the next 6 days. Residents are advised to bring umbrellas when going out. Meteorologist Zhang Cheng-Chuan expects intermittent showers or thunderstorms in southern Taiwan throughout the day tomorrow while central Taiwan and the early hours of the morning may also see brief showers or thunderstorms. Weather conditions are expected to remain unsettled after the festival with continued rainfall in various areas. Safety precautions are urged, especially in mountainous regions prone to landslides and flash floods during thunderstorms. Additionally, changes in rain distribution patterns are predicted over time, with thunderstorms likely in the northern and eastern parts of Taiwan during afternoons over the upcoming week, potentially causing heavy localized rainfall and flash flooding in mountainous areas. Softened mountain terrain following recent earthquakes increase the risk of landslides and falling rocks, requiring vigilance during outdoor activities in mountainous and stream areas. Further news includes reports on Guan Gong and Mazu Temple issues, deadly 'cannibal fungus' outbreak in Japan, and a shocking murder in Taipei's Wanhua district involving a 78-year-old landlord attacked by a tenant with a knife.
