World Weather Summary
Updated: April 18, 2005 9:38 a.m.
It's been unusually rainy in recent days in northwestern Jamaica due, in large part, to a cold front which move southward into the area late last week, then stalled nearby over the weekend. At Montego Bay, rainfall was 4.5 inches within 72 hours as of the wee hours of Monday morning. For perspective, the average rainfall for all of April here is 2.5 inches.
Sunday, some southern sections of Canada's prairie provinces got a taste of summer. Many places in southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba rose into the 70s, and there were local readings in the 80s, too. Southern Saskatchewan had highs of 81, 81 and 80 degrees, respectively, in Weyburn, Estevan and Coronach. Regina, the provincial capital, was a full 30 degrees above average in reaching 79 degrees, and was only 1 degree short of the record high for the date. Top readings in southern Manitoba were registered at Dauphin and Swan River; both locations were about 25 degrees above average with their 77-degree highs.
Forty-eight hour rainfall as of Monday morning was 5.2 inches at Puerto Limon, a city of the Caribbean shores of Costa Rica.
Over the weekend, a snowstorm lifted the snow depth from 114 to 124 inches at Zugspitze, southern Germany. At about 9,720 feet above sea level, Zugspitze is Germany's highest point.
As of Monday morning, EDT, a potent tropical wave over the western North Pacific Ocean near the western Caroline Islands was being closely watched as a candidate to become a tropical depression. This tropical wave unloaded 6.8 inches of rain within 72 hours ended late Monday morning, local time, at Chuuk (Truk Islands), Federated States of Micronesia.
Locally excessive rainfall swamped northern parts of the Dominican Republic Sunday to early Monday. At Puerto Plata, for example, rainfall was 7.0 inches within 24 hours as of Monday morning. These downpours left more rain than would fall, on average, in all of April here; the mean rainfall for the month is 6.2 inches.
