A tropical cyclone is over the northern Arabian Sea. Late Friday
morning, EDT, the core of this low is about 325 miles south-southwest
of Karachi, Pakistan. It is drifting towards the north-northwest at 10
mph with 35-mph top sustained winds. While not forecast to strengthen
much, this cyclone is seen heading for the coast near the
Pakistan-India border over the weekend.
Things are unsettled and chaotic over the northeastern Indian
Ocean, too; specifically, the Bay of Bengal east of southern India.
This, too, could become a tropical cyclone during the next day or
two.
Spring can seem meaningless when it comes to the weather in
Antarctica. Thursday and Friday, temperatures 60 and more degrees
below zero were registered continuously at the South Pole. Given
winds of 20 to 30 mph, wind chill readings were 100 to 110 degrees
below zero most of the time. An automated weather station at the Sky
Hi station in Ellsworth Land, West Antarctica, winds above hurricane
strength were clocked much of Thursday and Friday; temperatures
ranged from 15 to 25 degrees below zero.
Early Friday afternoon, the temperature soared to 117 degrees at
Yanbu'al Bahr, Saudi Arabia, thereby making for three-straight days of
115-degree heat.
Friday, a coastal storm whipped up winds of 35-45 mph amidst
steady soaking rains at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Wednesday night, local time, a small and weak tropical low from
the Arabian Sea came ashore in southern Oman. Despite its being
relatively weak, the low unloaded excessive rainfall in this normally
arid area. Soaking thunderstorms hit the city of Salalah and, in doing
so, dropped 4.1 inches of rain. The mean rainfall here during
September is a mere 0.1 of an inch and the annual average is only 4.3
inches. Therefore, about one year's worth of rain fell within about
twelve hours. Nearby, the town of Raysut collected 2.5 inches of rain.
As the remnants of Hurricane Jeanne passed over far southeastern
Canada Thursday to Friday, they unleashed 3.9 inches of rain and
severe gales at Cape Race. This point at the southern tip of the
Avalon Peninsula, Island of Newfoundland, weathered sustained winds of
40-60 mph for more than 15 hours as of midafternoon Friday.
Mid- and late-week were excessively rainy in parts of the
Philippines. In southern Luzon, rainfall was 7.8 inches within 42
hours to early Saturday morning, local time, at Daet. Downpours also
left 6.4 inches within 60 hours ended Friday evening at Catarman,
northern Samar Island.
