Tropical Cyclone Frank is powerful storm over the South Indian
Ocean. Late Friday afternoon, EST, Frank is 430 miles northeast of
Mauritius. Drifting towards the north-northwest at 3-4 mph, Frank owns
highest sustained winds of 120 mph. The storm is forecast turn
sharply toward the south and southeast within a day or two, and
further strengthening is foreseen. A motion toward the southwest,
however, would threaten Mauritius.
The other tropical cyclone is Linda; it is over the eastern South
Indian Ocean. Late Friday morning, EST, Linda is within 70 miles
west-southwest of Australia's remote Cocos, or Keeling, Islands.
Highest sustained winds are still only 40 mph, and the storm is
tracking towards the southeast at 9 mph. Forecast to head mostly
towards the south for the next 24-48 hours, Linda will be over
increasingly more open waters.
Early Friday, the bitter cold gripping central and northwestern
Canada was most anomalous in Manitoba. The capital city, Winnipeg,
slipped below -40 degrees for a second-straight day, something that
had not happened since the first two days of 1996. Respective lows
for Thursday and Friday were 41 and 42 degrees below zero, each of
which was 1 degree shy of a daily record set in 1899.
Thursday, and Friday, rainfall at Batan, Indonesia, near
Singapore, was 10.6 inches.
Lisbon, Portugal, was doused by 3.2 inches of rain within 24
hours ended Friday morning, local time. On average, this capital city
receives about 4.4 inches of rain in all of January.
Heavy rain, punctuated by a few thundery downpours, amounted to
3.0 inches within 24 hours as of Friday morning, local time, in
Mugla, southwestern Turkey.
Searing heat under strong mid-summer sunshine baked northern
Argentina on Friday. Many sites topped 100 degrees. One location,
Santiago del Estero, soared to 108 degrees versus an average high near
90 degrees. Greater Buenos Aires sweltered, too, with afternoon
temperatures in the lower and middle 90s. One-hundred-degree heat was
also registered in parts of western Uruguay, southeastern Paraguay and
in western Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state.
