Hurricane Juan was the keystone of a highly varied and abnormal
weather setting spread across the breadth of Canada Sunday and
Monday. Juan's 75-mph sustained winds landed in southern Nova Scotia
a bit west of Halifax near midnight; from here, it swept across the
province to Prince Edward Island, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and
Anticosti Island, and last, to the north shore of mainland Quebec
near daybreak Monday. Highest winds in the Halifax area were 80 to 90
mph in gusts. Even Prince Edward Island including Charlottetown, the
capital, was lashed by 75-85 mph gusts. Meantime, tropical warmth
pumped far ahead of Juan bathed easternmost Canada northward to
northern Labrador. At Nain, Sunday's high was 77 degrees, or more than
30 degrees above average. Cartwright and Goose hit a balmy 73 degrees.
The island of Newfoundland also shared in the abnormal warmth. Far to
the west, southwestern British Columbia was hotter Sunday than on most
mid-summer days. Away from the sea, it highs were 85 to 90 degrees in
greater Vancouver. Abbotsford hit 89 degrees, and Squamish, 88. On
Vancouver Island, Port Alberni topped out at 87, and Victoria, 86
degrees. Average highs in these parts are about 60 to 65 degrees. In
contrast, an early fall chill activated the weather over the Great
Lakes sparking thunderstorms and downpours in a small part of
southwestern Ontario.
Monday, Typhoon Koppu is between the northern Bonin, or Ogasawara,
Islands and the southern Nampo islands, which is well to the southeast
of mainland Japan. Before daybreak Monday, EDT, the eye of Koppu is
within about 100 miles east-southeast of Sofu Gan, most southerly of
the Nampo Islands, and 480 miles south-southeast of Tokyo. Typhoon
Koppu is heading towards the north-northeast at 11 mph with highest
sustained winds of 105 mph. Koppu is forecast to accelerate towards
the northeast and to weaken for the next two to three days;
ultimately, it will undergo transformation into a mid-latitude storm
over the North Pacific Ocean near the western Aleutian Islands of
Alaska.
At Tuxpan in eastern Mexico, rainfall was 9.1 inches within 30
hours as of Monday morning.
Winds gusting 55-75 mph blasted Nuuk -- also known as Godthab, --
Greenland, Monday. With the winds came heavy, slashing rains.
At the Mawson station, East Antarctica, winds were above
hurricane strength for about ten-straight hours on Monday. At times
they blew steadily at 85 mph.
Sunday and Monday saw snow fall locally in northern Mongolia and
neighboring Russia. One site in Mongolia had single-digit cold at
daybreak, Monday.
