World Weather Summary
Updated: August 31, 2005 12:11 a.m.
Late Wednesday morning, EDT, the eye of Typhoon Talim is bearing
down upon northern Taiwan from the Philippine Sea. With top sustained
winds of 120 mph, Talim is centered about 105 miles to the southeast
of Taipei; it is moving west-northwestward at 13 mph. Talim's core
will move over northern Taiwan Wednesday afternoon and early Wednesday
evening, then cross the Taiwan Strait before making a second landfall,
probably as a tropical storm, in eastern mainland China on Thursday.
Wednesday, the eye of Typhoon Talim passed a short distance to the
south of the Japan's southernmost Ryukyu Islands. In doing so,
Ishigaki Shima was thrashed by sustained winds that reached at least
70 mph. Rainfall was 5.0 inches within twelve hours.
Nabi is a big, strong and still strengthening typhoon over the
eastern Philippine Sea near the Northern Mariana Islands. Late
Wednesday morning, EDT, Typhoon Nabi has highest sustained winds of
120 mph about an eye which is 265 miles north-northwest of Agana,
Guam; it is moving towards the west-northwest at 13 mph. Forecasts
call for Nabi to become a very powerful typhoon as it makes its way
across the Philippine Sea during the next 2-3 days. Ultimately, the
storm may threaten Japan's Ryukyu Islands.
Typhoon Nabi crossed the Northern Mariana Islands late Tuesday and
Tuesday night, EDT, on its way to the Philippine Sea. The storm passed
near Saipan where wind gusts to at least 70 mph were clocked. At
Agana, Guam, rainfall was 4.7 inches.

Bahamas. Nassau, the capital city, caught a couple of cloudbursts.

A cold storm unloaded heavy precipitation on western Argentina's
province of Mendoza from late Monday to early Wednesday. At San
Rafael, 4.9 inches of rain fell within about 36 hours as temperatures
hovered in the middle and upper 30s. This tally was about 10 times the

Tuesday's high of 34 degrees was 25 degrees below average.
