According to Sanli News Network on July 1, 2024, at 9:55 am, it is predicted that the convective range will shrink on Thursday and Friday. Meteorologist Wu Derong mentioned that Taiwan has been experiencing high temperatures and intense heat since the end of June, resulting in afternoon thunderstorms. For the next two days, Taiwan will still be on the edge of the Pacific high-pressure system, leading to clear weather but with weaker afternoon convection due to reduced subsidence. The showers are expected to mainly occur in mountainous areas rather than plains, reducing the impact on flat areas. Temperatures are forecasted to reach over 37 degrees Celsius in various regions, with even higher temperatures in some areas, like Taitung, due to the foehn wind effect. Despite the approaching high-pressure center, the probability of afternoon convection on flatlands will decrease significantly. The same unstable weather pattern is anticipated for the next two days, with showers primarily occurring in the afternoons near mountainous areas and extending to plains. Temperature variations are expected to be minimal with highs around 37 degrees and lows around 25 degrees Celsius, although some low-lying areas may experience slightly higher temperatures.

A recent study published in the journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found a strong correlation between consuming 'ultra-processed foods' and an increased risk of constipation. These foods, which are highly processed and industrially manufactured, often contain additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and other chemicals, and are low in nutritional value but high in sugar, fat, salt, and energy density. The study indicated that swapping 10% of ultra-processed foods with minimally processed foods reduced the risk of constipation by 10%. Another UK study also linked increased consumption of ultra-processed foods with an 8% increase in the risk of irritable bowel syndrome, showing a close relationship between these types of foods and digestive issues.
