Taipei, May 26 (CNA) Most parts of Taiwan could see unstable weather from late Tuesday to Thursday as a plum rain front heads toward the country, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) warned.

There could be showers or thunderstorms in western and northeastern Taiwan on Tuesday and Wednesday, with occasional torrential rainfall possible, forecasters said.

On Tuesday, the approaching front, accompanied by strengthening southwesterly winds, could bring afternoon thundershowers across Taiwan, particularly in the northeast and in mountainous parts of central and southern Taiwan, according to the bureau.

The weather is likely to hit Taiwan the hardest on Wednesday, the bureau said, and it cautioned against possible disasters because of greater instability in the soil due to the heavy rain last week.    [FULL  STORY]
