World Weather Summary
Updated: June 22, 2005 12:00 a.m.
A new tropical storm is plying the waters of the eastern North
Pacific Ocean off of southwestern Mexico. As of late Wednesday
morning, EDT, Tropical Storm Beatriz is centered 415 miles
west-southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. Moving west-northwestward at 13
mph, Beatriz holds top sustained winds of 40 mph. The storm is
forecast to strengthen further during the next 24-36 hours, but its
projected path is west-northwestward over open waters.
Locally very heavy rain doused southeastern Mexico Tuesday and
Tuesday night. The seaside city of Veracruz was soaked by 5.8 inches
of rain within 30 hours as of Wednesday morning; this accounts for
about 85% of June's average rainfall.
Parts of northwestern Mexico dealt with high heat early this week.
In the state of Sonora, highs were 113 and 114 degrees, respectively,
on Monday and Tuesday at Altar; these marks were about 10 degrees
above average.
Much of Iberia has sweltered this week as well. In Spain, Cordoba
registered highs of 102 and 106 degrees, respectively, on Monday and
Tuesday whereas the mean daily high during June is 89; early Wednesday
afternoon, local time, the temperature was back up to 101 degrees. In
Portugal Tuesday, Evora spiked to 104 degrees and Lisbon, the national
capital, soared more than 20 degrees above average to reach 97.
Recent days have been even hotter than usual in much of Pakistan
and northern India where the cooling monsoon rain has yet to commence.
Hissar, India, for example, registered consecutive highs of 116, 115,
116 and 115 degrees Sunday through Wednesday. For perspective, the
average daily high in this part of June is about 105 degrees. In
northern Pakistan Wednesday, Sargodha rose almost 15 degrees above
average in reaching 119.
Along India's southern Arabian Sea shores, however, the monsoon is
in full swing as many places have had heavy rain lately. The city of
Mangalore, for instance, was inundated by 22.9 inches of rain within a
little more than four days as of late Wednesday afternoon, local time.
During the same spell, Goa picked up 18.8 inches of rain.
Torrential, flooding rain has swamped portions of southeastern
China since late last week. One city in the province of Guangdong,
Heyuan, was soaked by 24.5 inches of rain from Saturday morning to
Wednesday evening, local time. During this same exact interval,
rainfall was 17.7 inches at Guangchang, Jiangxi province.
