Lupit has gained the status of "Super Typhoon" over the open
Philippine Sea. Late Wednesday afternoon, EST, this powerful and
highly dangerous storm holds highest sustained winds of 160 mph about
an eye which is 400 miles northwest of Yap, Federated States of
Micronesia. Lupit is heading northwestward at 7 mph. Lupit is forecast
to peak in intensity on Thursday. Fortunately, an open-water,
northwestward track is foreseen for this storm during the next two
days.
The island of Yap was on the southern fringes of Lupit Tuesday
and picked up just over six inches of rain. Squalls brought wind gusts
of 50 to 55 mph.
The city of Dong Hoi, on the coast of Vietnam, was pelted by heavy
rain this midweek. Within 48 hours ended late Wednesday evening, local
time, rainfall was 4.1 inches.
Unusually cold weather briefly gripped northern Scandinavia this
midweek. In Kvikkjokk, Sweden, the bitterly cold air moved in Monday
night dropping the temperature to minus-11 degrees by daybreak
Tuesday. After hovering near this mark much of the day Tuesday, the
temperature dipped 16 degrees below zero early Tuesday night before
rising overnight. An average day near the end of November here would
have a high of 19 degrees and a low of 7. Meantime, Tuesday dawned
with a temperature just above zero in Kautokeino, Norway. From here,
it grew increasingly cold with the temperature falling below minus-10
degrees by noon and more than 15 degrees below zero by late afternoon.
A low of minus-18 degrees was set early Wednesday morning. Kautokeino,
with only a little more than one hour of daylight, has a mean high of
15 degrees and a mean low of 4 at this time of the year.
Baking heat has covered Paraguay and northern Argentina the past
few days. Daytime highs have been above 100 degrees early in the week
across western Paraguay and in the 90s elsewhere. Over the past day
or two cooler air has been pushing northward across Argentina and
this has triggered episodes of strong thunderstorms. The Paraguayan
city of San Estanislao was doused with nearly 3 inches in a short
time Tuesday night. San Juan Bautista picked up 1.65 inches of rain
from a heavy thunderstorm Monday, then had another 1.75 inches from a
storm Tuesday. Pilar also was hit twice by strong storms and in two
days time received 3.35 inches.
