by Sunday morning, EDT. During the past week, Nida developed
and rapidly strengthened, reaching super-typhoon status for a
couple of days. The dangerous storm skirted the Philippines,
bringing heavy rainfall and damaging winds to a couple of
smaller islands, and then turned toward the north and
northeast, missing eastern Japan by just a couple of hundred
miles. Saturday, what was left of this once potent storm was
riding jet stream winds across the northern Pacific, racing
along at about 50 mph.
Tanega Shima, a small island south of Kyushu, rainfall was 6.4 inches
Tuesday to early Friday. Further south, downpours amounted to 5.9
inches of rain at Naze, Amami O Shima. One of the Izu Islands, Hachijo
Jima, was soaked by 6.5 inches of rain. On the main island, Honshu,
rainfall was 4.7 inches at the southernmost point, Shiono Misaki.
Tokyo also received a good dousing from the northern fringe of Nida's
wrath. Rainfall there amounted to just over 4 inches. The capital city
also saw some wind as the storm went by. Winds were sustained at 25-30
mph for a while, with gusts close to 40 mph.
Philippine Sea Friday night, and was downgraded to a tropical
depression by Saturday morning, EDT. Top sustained winds with
the depression were about 30 mph, and it was rapidly weakening
while moving northward. By Sunday, Omais will likely dissipate
entirely.
Caribbean Sea and some eastern islands were pelted by downpours at
mid- and late-week. On Dominica, the Melville Hall airport collected
about 4.0 inches of rain within 24 hours Tuesday to Wednesday, then
another 2.5 inches of rain poured down within 30 hours Thursday to
Friday.
Saturday. The temperature at Jacobabad soared to 123 degrees
Saturday afternoon, after reaching the same peak Friday
afternoon. Pad Idan was not far behind, with a high of 122
degrees. Many other locations throughout Pakistan had
temperatures well above 110 both Friday and Saturday.
