<strong>Dad’s Day means typhoons</strong>
A total of six typhoon warnings were issued around Father’s Day from 2000 to last year, making it the most common time for tropical cyclones to make landfall in Taiwan, the Central Weather Bureau said in a social media post yesterday. The frequency of land warnings on Aug. 8 and 9 was a natural phenomenon, because tropical disturbances have the highest chance of affecting the nation during this period, bureau Director-General Cheng Ming-dean (鄭明典) said. The six storms were Typhoon Bopha in 2006, Typhoon Panbuk and Typhoon Wutip in 2007, Typhoon Morakot in 2009, Typhoon Soudelor in
