Typhoon Maemi is slowly building in strength over the open
Philippine Sea. Before daybreak on Monday, EDT, Maemi is less than
500 miles southeast of Naha, Okinawa, Japan. Heading towards the
west-northwest at 16 mph, Maemi owns highest sustained winds of 80
mph. Forecast to head towards the northwest with further
strengthening, Maemi would be over open waters for another 36-48
hours, but later, would become a threat to okinawa and other
neighboring Ryukyu Islands.
Severe blizzards have lately battered stretches of coastal
Antarctica. At the Georg Von Neumayer station, which set along the
Ekstrom Ice Shelf, winds roared steadily at 40-60 mph Saturday
through early Monday. Far to the east, Casey station, which is
located along the Budd Coast south of Australia, withstood sustained
winds above 100 mph for a few hours on Sunday evening, and bouts of
hurricane wind for much of a 24-hour stretch.
End of the rainy summer monsoon in drawing nigh for the Indian
Subcontinent. Still, there have been instances of excessive rainfall

24 hours was 9.7 inches. Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, saw two-day
rainfall of 7.6 inches.
September marks the start of a rainy season that reaches its peak
in fall at the south end of the Caspian Sea. Fittingly, Sunday

rain fell within 24 hours ended Monday morning. At Naw Shahr, 6.1
inches fell. Ramsar collected 5.4 inches, and 4.5 inches doused
Bandar-e Anzali.
Record-challenging heat spread over the Great Plains of Canada
Sunday. In Alberta, Edmonton had its latest-ever 90-degree day

record high on Saturday, topped out two degrees shy of Sunday's
record with 88 degrees. A record high was also tied at Regina,
Saskatchewan: it reached 92 degrees on Sunday. Saskatoon had 87,
