Tuesday, Nock-Ten is fast winding down as a named tropical cyclone
southwest of Japan. Early Tuesday morning, EDT, the heart of Tropical
Storm Nock-Ten is 300 miles southwest of Kagoshima, Kyushu, and 165
miles north of Naha, Okinawa. Highest sustained winds about Nock-Ten
are down to between 60 and 65 mph, but its forward speed towards the
east-northeast is up to nearly 30 mph. Accelerating eastwards and
undergoing metamorphasis into an extra-tropical storm, Nock-Ten is passing
the northern Ryukyu Islands on an east-bound track that will take it
south of the Japan mainland through Wednesday.
On the island of Tanega Shima, south of the Japan mainland, heavy
rains triggered mostly by Tropical Storm Nock-Ten amounted to 6.5
inches within 24 hours ended Tuesday evening, local time. Winds gusted
between 45 and 50 mph. Farther south, also in the northern Ryukyu
Islands, winds gusted 55 mph on Amami O Shima. The path of Nock-Ten
was eastwards in the gap between these two islands.
Monday to Tuesday, heavy rains pelted the Rhone River basin of
southeastern France. At Montelimar, rainfall topped three inches.
About 2.5 inches soaked Lyon. The cloudbursts reached north and east
to Geneva, Switzerland, where 2.9 inches was registered.

Sonora, Mexico, early this week. In Sinaloa, Culiacan was hit with
8.7 inches of rain within about 24 hours. Sonora had 5.5 inches of
rain at Empalme, near Guaymas. Average rainfall rainfall for the
whole month of October is on the order of two to three inches.
Tuesday, a tropical wave over the western South Indian Ocean is
being monitored as there are indications that it might grow into a
tropical cyclone. The wave is located about 300 miles south-southwest
of Mahe Island, Seychelles, as of midafternoon, EDT, and it is moving
towards the west-southwest at 15-20 mph.
Tuesday was unusually hot along some coastal stretches of the
eastern Mediterranean Sea. In Israel, Haifa spiked to 96 degrees
