Heavy rain has doused parts of southwestern British Columbia,
Canada, during recent days. Hardest hit was Vancouver Island where the
storm began Wednesday night. As of early Saturday morning, local time,
rainfall was 4.9 inches at Estevan Point. Both Port Hardy and Port
Alberni, meantime, collected 3.6 inches of rain.
Heavy rain has been triggered along a slow-moving frontal
boundary across Paraguay and southern Brazil the past couple of days.
In southern Brazil, Santa Maria had 4.05 inches since Friday morning,
while Passo Fundo had 4.02 inches. Meanwhile, Campos Novos had
a whopping 7.29 inches. Across the border in Paraguay, Pilar had 4.72
inches since early Friday, while Encarnation received 5.16 inches.
Abnormally hot weather burned some stretches of Atlantic coast in
Morocco this midweek. In Agadir, for example, 100 degrees was reached
on Wednesday, and Thursday's high was 102; the average daily high in
late March is 77. Safi was more than 25 degrees above average in
setting respective highs of 97 and 96 on these two days. A cold front
brought an abrupt end to the heat Friday as Agadir had a high of 75
and Safi only reached 69.
A much-needed soaking rain drenched southwestern Western Australia
the second half of this week. At Mt. Barker, for example, 8.3 inches of
rain fell in the 60 hours ended Friday evening, local time. Katanning
had 4.7 inches while Manjimup received 4.3 inches of rain during this
time.
Late season chill has descended on southeast Europe. At the same
time, moisture streaming in from the Mediterranean has produced snow
over parts of Turkey. The mountainous terrain over central Turkey has
had a few inches of snow. Even in the capital city, Ankara, the snow
managed to accumulate as temperatures were just below freezing and the
snow was briefly heavy.
As of Saturday morning, tropical disturbance 17 has formed in the
southern Indian Ocean. It was located near 14.3 south and 75.2 degrees
with maximum winds of 25 to 30 mph and is drifting off to the
west-southwest. It should continue to move through a favorable
environment the next couple of days, so additional development is
likely, though it is still a few days from any land. Another area of
convection near 11 south and 103 east is trying to develop a
circulation and will need to be monitored for further development.
