North Pacific Ocean Saturday morning. The storm had 50 mph winds, and
was expected to continue strengthening over the next few days, likely
attaining typhoon status. As of Saturday morning, the storm was
centered about 570 miles west of Kwajalein, and was racing westward
at 27 mph. Talas will continue moving westward, and could pass very
close to Guam on Monday.

middle Italy. On-and-off rains since monday have left 5.3 inches at
Pescara, Italy. Rainfall of 3.8 inches would be about average for

Inhambane, along the shores of Mozambique. It is early in their rainy
season, and this amount was nearly two fold the mean December
rainfall. Inland, two-day rainfall was 4.6 inches at Masvingo,
Zimbabwe, where the summer rainy season is beginning. This accounted

Moree Thursday into Friday. Rainfall was 5.6 inches, far more than the
average monthly rainfall of 2.4 inches.
few days. A large high pressure system has settled over central Europe
for the period, bringing days of mostly cloudy and chilly weather with
light winds. Interestingly enough, the weather has been unusually warm
in a lot of mountain areas. A very warm air mass has been sitting on
top of the shallow layer of cold near the earth's surface. One extreme
example of this is in Germany, where Berlin had a temperature of 32
degrees Saturday afternoon while the temperature soared to 37 degrees
at Zugspitze, a lofty mountain peak nearly 10,000 feet above sea level
in southern Germany. Similar weather patterns in the past were
disastrous because the conditions trapped and concentrated pollution
in major cities, causing widespread illness and numerous deaths. This
will not occur in this case because of large improvements in air
quality over the recent decades.
