Ma-on is now a typhoon churning the northern Philippine Sea. Late
Wednesday afternoon, EDT, Typhoon Ma-on holds highest sustained winds
of 85 mph about a center which is 405 miles southeast of Naha,
Okinawa, Japan. The storm is moving towards the northwest at 7 mph.
Ma-on is forecast to strengthen further while hooking northward during
the next 24 hours, then to slowly weaken on a northeastward heading
Friday and Saturday. On this course, the typhoon would brush Japan's
Ryukyu Islands to the east and then threaten the mainland with Honshu
being its likely target during the weekend.
After a short stint as a tropical storm, Tropical Depression Kay
is dissipating over the eastern North Pacific Ocean southwest of
Mexico's Revillagigedo Islands.
It's been a hot week so far in western Mexico. In northern Sinaloa
state, for instance, highs were 103, 104 and 105 degrees,
respectively, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at Choix. Culiacan set highs
of 101 or 102 degrees on these three days. At La Paz, southern Baja
California Sur, Tuesday's high was 104 degrees, and Wednesday was
burning at 101 degrees as of midafternoon. La Paz has an average daily
high of 90 degrees in October.
Early October, meantime, has been excessively rainy in parts of
eastern Mexico. Tampico, for example, collected about 5.8 inches of
rain within 72 hours as of Wednesday morning. These rains have already
accounted for a sizable portion of October's mean rainfall which is
near 7.0 inches.
Heavy showers and thunderstorms drenched Phu Quoc, Vietnam,
Tuesday to Wednesday. The island, which is off Cambodia's southern
shores, was doused by 7.1 inches of rain within 24 hours.
Locally excessive rains have swamped the Philippines in recent
days. In southeastern Luzon, for example, Daet was soaked by 13.2
inches of rain from Sunday morning to Wednesday night, local time.
A powerful storm moved across northern Scotland Tuesday night into
Wednesday. Powerful winds swept the Hebrides Islands along the west
coast of Scotland. Machrihanish had sustained winds over 30 mph for
nearly 24 hours. Fife Ness on the east coast of Scotland had sustained
