Heavy, flooding rains washed the fertile, crowded North China
Plain late this week. Districts of Shandong, Hebei and Tianjin Shi
were hardest hit. Within 36 hours, Lingxian collected 7.5 inches of
rain, and Bozhen, 6.9 inches. In the city of Tientsin, or Tianjin,
rainfall was 5.9 inches. Atop Tai Shan in the Shandong Mountains,
two-day rainfall was 8.5 inches. Was is most striking about this rain
storm was its timing: the rainfall at Tientsin was 10-times the
average October rainfall, and Lingxian bested its mean monthly tally
by twelve fold. Beijing, meantime, also outstripped its monthly mean
with a fall of 2.1 inches versus monthly average of 0.6".
On the island of Amami, Japan, Naze had rainfall of 4.3 inches
within the last two days.
Winds of hurricane strength hammered some of the outer islands of
British Columbia early Saturday. On Sartine Island, sustained winds
rose to nearly 80 mph as of daybreak; gusts at the time were 100 mph.
An early cold outbreak has clenched most of Mongolia in wintry
cold late this week. At Altai, Saturday was colder than the mean day
in January: the high was only 9 degrees under snowy skies following a
low of 12 degrees below zero. Both the high and the low were between
30 and 35 degrees below mean, and a few degrees below the average
for January.
A counterpoint to the chill in central Asia, far-northeastern
Europe basked in warmth more befitting August than October. At
Syktyvkar, Temperatures Friday through Saturday hovered between 54
and 64 degrees -- 20 to 25 degree above average.
