Recent days have brought locally excessive rainfall to eastern

late afternoon Tuesday, local time, was 9.7 inches. Of this, 5.5
inches poured down within 24 hours Monday to Tuesday. May's average

the monthly mean.

coast, was burned by high heat. As of early afternoon, local time, the

capital, versus an average high of 86. In the northeast and near the

at Baninah and Agedabia; these marks were already about 25 degrees
above the mean daily high for this part of May. Farther inland, Gialo
was nearing 20 degrees above average with its 110-degree reading.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, has had more than its share of rain
lately. From last Wednesday, May 11, through late Tuesday morning,
about 5.0 inches of rain fell; this is almost 95% of the mean
rainfall for all of May.
Forty-eight hour rainfall ended Tuesday morning was 6.4 inches at
Ciudad del Este, eastern Paraguay. This rainfall tally exceeded by 1.2
inches the mean rainfall for the entire month of May.
Early Tuesday morning, local time, 6.0 inches of rain doused the
island of Vanua Lava, Vanuatu, within only six hours.
Sustained winds blowing 55-65 mph lashed the Maui A oil and gas
platform off the west coast of New Zealand's North Island for more
than 24 hours as of late Tuesday, local time.
A tropical wave drifting near the southeastern Philippines has
the potential to grow into a tropical depression within the next 24
hours. Even if the wave does not become any better organized, locally
heavy rainfall is likely in Mindanao and on the smaller islands of
the central Philippines.
