World Weather Summary
Updated: April 19, 2005 12:04 a.m.
Monday morning to Tuesday morning, rainfall was 3.9 inches at San Juan, Puerto Rico. This dousing brought more rain than would fall, on average, during all of April; the monthly mean is 3.7 inches. In stark contrast, last month was the driest March ever here -- there was no measurable rainfall.
Seventy-two hour rainfall as of Tuesday morning was 5.2 inches at Puerto Limon, a city of the Caribbean shores of Costa Rica.
Early this week, downpours pelted several islands of the South Pacific Ocean. In Fiji, for example, rainfall was 8.6 inches within 84 hours as of Tuesday night, local time, at the Nadi international airport near Lautoka on the island of Viti Levu. Elsewhere in Fiji, rainfall was 8.1 inches at Nabouwalu, island of Vanua Levu, and 4.7 inches at Vunisea, island of Kadavu. Meantime, the island nation of Vanuatu was also hit by locally heavy rain. The small island of Anatom (Aneityum) gathered in 8.9 inches of rain during roughly the same time span.
Monday was unusually warm in parts of Canada's Ontario and Manitoba provinces. In eastern Ontario, Kapuskasing and Nagagami each set a high of 74 degrees whereas the average high for the date was in the middle 40s. In southern Manitoba, the provincial capital, Winnipeg, spiked 22 degrees above average in reaching 74 degrees.
Often cited as the world's cold spot outside of Antarctica, Eureka, Canada, was noteworthy for a different reason Monday -- a blizzard. This settlement on the Fosheim Peninsula of Nunavut's Ellesmere Island withstood winds of 25-50 mph for about 20 hours. Windblown snow produced blinding whiteouts with visibility virtually nil. Temperatures varied from -15 to -2 degrees, and it felt as cold as -58 degrees.
