The eastern North Pacific Ocean has its second tropical storm of
the season. Late Tuesday afternoon, EDT, Tropical Storm Blas is 265
miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Blas holds highest
sustained winds of 55 to 60 mph, and is heading towards the northwest
at 20 mph. Blas is forecast to head towards the northwest and west for
the next few days. This path would take Blas past the Revillagigedo
Islands of Mexico, but well away from the mainland.

Tuesday afternoon, EDT, the depression is located about 390 miles

Al Fujayrah, United Arab Emirates, site lately of extreme
humidity, Tuesday showed dew points to at least 93 degrees. At the
time, the temperature was also 93 degrees, thus making for humidity
near 100%. Apparent temperature was 130 to 135 degrees.

Siberian Russia. The district of Amur had 102 degrees at Dzhalinda,

Freakish warming hit the foot of Argentina's Andes Monday night
and early Tuesday. In the far north, Salta chilled to near 30 degrees
before daybreak, but a strong, down-sloping "zonda" wind set in after
sunrise zooming the temperature 37 degrees in one hour. Humidity dove
to 5%. Much farther south, the zonda kicked in with blowing dust and 1%
humidity at San Juan; the temperature soared by daybreak to 74
degrees, or far above the mean daily high of 60 degrees.
Some strong thunderstorms hit greater Islamabad, Pakistan,
Tuesday, delivering gusty, dust-laden winds and downpours to this
capital city. Sustained winds surpassing 50 mph whipped dust into
thick clouds, thereby cutting the visibility to less than one-half of
a mile.
