Melor, the former typhoon, is now dissipating as a named tropical
storm. The tropical depression is near the southwestern-most Ryukyu
Islands of Japan, and is drifting towards the northeast. It was on
Taiwan Sunday into Sunday night that Melor, then a tropical storm,
made its mark. At Hengch'un, the storm unloaded rainfall of 17.1
inches within 24 hours.
Lately, Asia's most northeasterly tip has basked in unusual
warmth. Cape Uelen, Chukotka, Russia, which forms the western
"gatepost" for the Bering Strait opposite Alaska, warmed above 40
degrees early Monday, and here it held through late Tuesday night.
With respective highs of 47 and 48 degrees wrapped about a low of 41,
it was more than 30 degrees above the mean November extremes of 17 and
11 degrees for high and low, respectively. Even adjusted for the
start of the month, the stretch was still warmer than average by more
than 20 degrees. The unusual warmth spread right across Chukotka, a
vast area, and saw widespread temperatures of at least 30 degrees
above the daily means.
The highland city of Merida, Venezuela, was pelted with rainfall
of 6.2 inches Monday and Monday night. This accounted for about
two-thirds of November's mean monthly rainfall.
Colder than average weather reached across the breadth of Canada
from British Columbia to the nation's Atlantic provinces on Tuesday.
With respect to climatology, it was coldest from the eastern foothills
of the Rocky Mountains to the western high plains. In Alberta, it took
Pincher Creek until midafternoon to rise above 0 degrees whereas the
average high this time of the year is about 40. The morning low of
minus-13 degrees was almost 40 degrees below the daily mean. Calgary
and Edmonton struggled to reach 15 degrees versus average highs in the
lower and middle 40s. With light snow falling, Regina, Saskatchewan,
failed to reach 20 degrees despite an average high of 40. Most of
Ontario and southern Quebec saw afternoon temperatures 10-20 degrees
below "normal", including the national capital Ottawa. Heavily
populated far southeastern Ontario had a great variation in
temperature, however. Through late afternoon, Toronto had only reached
the lower 40s (about 8 degrees below average) while Windsor, less than
200 miles away, soared more than 20 degrees above average in reaching
the lower 70s. Atlantic provinces were generally 5-15 degrees below
average during the afternoon.
