Sunday, Tropical Cyclone Percy is a dangerous storm over the South
Pacific Ocean. Late Sunday morning, EST, the eye of Percy is 310 miles
northeast of Pago Pago, American Samoa; it is tracking towards the east
at 11 mph. Percy is forecast to hook sharply southwards within 12 to 24
hours along a path that would keep its potentially devastating winds
well east of Samoa. Towards mid week, Rarotonga, Cook Islands, could be
threatened by Percy.
Late this week, temperatures have soared daily to 110 degrees and
more over mid-southern Sudan making it the match for Australia as
world`s hot spot. Saturday, a belt between the Nile River and the
Ethiopia border south of Khartoum reached 110-113 degrees.
Eastern Kamchatka, its winters fraught with nor`easters, is home
to some of the highest sea-level snowfall on earth. So it is this
winter on this vast peninsula of the Russian Far East. In the town of
Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, a weekend storm boosted snow depth from 80
to 100 inches.
The northern Labrador Coast of Newfoundland, Canada, shares many
aspects of climate with Kamchatka, Russia. Amongst these are the many
severe winter storms marked by staggering snowfall and punishing
winds. Saturday, the weather station high above Cape Kiglapait
clocked steady winds above 70 mph with gusts of nearly 85 mph. At
Nain, the storm dumped more than a foot of snow having water
equivalent of 1.9 inches.
Western Canada has lately basked in springlike mildness. In
British Columbia, Squamish, north of Vancouver, warmed Saturday to a
high of 64 degrees. At the winter resort of Whistler, which has been
suffering a snow drought, Saturday`s high of 50 degrees made for
springlike skiing, but did nothing to help its base.
In Mumbai, India, the temperature soared to 102 degrees Saturday
afternoon, surpassing the average high for the date by nearly 20
degrees.
