Typhoon Parma is still over the open North Pacific Ocean. Tuesday
morning, EST, the eye of Parma is 880 miles west-northwest of Wake
Island. Highest sustained winds are now above 90 mph, and the typhoon
is clipping towards the west at 23 mph. Parma is caught within a
strong upper-atmospheric ridge, about which it has nearly made a full
loop. Within 24 hours, Parma will close off its loop as it swings
towards the north and the northeast. Later, it is forecast to follow
its earlier track towards the northeast before getting swept up in the
North Pacific jet stream. No land is anywhere near the likely path of
this storm.
An un-named tropical depression, formerly a cyclone, is landing
from the Bay of Bengal in eastern India. Early Tuesday morning,
EST, this depression is astride the shore of northern Andhra Pradesh
state northeast of Vishakhapatnam, India. Its highest sustained winds
are 35 mph. It will dissipate quickly over the Eastern Ghats bringing
local excessive rainfall.
Monday night saw another bout of soaking rain at Prince Rupert,
British Columbia. After four days of on-and-off downpour, rainfall
has reached 8.0 inches.
Although its been chilly recently throughout the British Isles,
some far eastern parts of Scotland felt more like summer than fall on
Monday. Westerly winds blowing down the Highlands warmed Scotland's
North Sea shores. At Aberdeen, 65 degrees was reached whereas an
average day near the end of October would have a high of about 50.
Even at the height of summer, the mean daily high is only 64 here.
Warming has also invaded Scandinavia and Finland following an early
cold snap and snows. Sunday's temperature extremes at Helsinki,
Finland, were 21 and 11 degrees. Tuesday, the low was 35 and was
followed by a high of 45 -- a nearly average range in temperature for
late October. The early four-inch snowfall melted away quickly. In
Sweden, Stockholm warmed to at least 54 degrees on Tuesday; Sunday
barely topped freezing.
