There isn't enough water left in the atmosphere to get a good Hurricane going in the Pacific, it's all falling up and down the Australian east coast ..... I was born and raised in the NSW South Coast area, been away for 8 yrs, can't remember this much rain over so many mths .... it usually comes in, drenches the place to the point of minor flooding, then leaves 3 days or at the most, a week later. Been here since June and witnessed 5 yrs rainfall for the Mannum SA region .... nothing ever gets to dry out, but everything is green, even things that aren't supposed to be, like concrete paths .....

H. Kiko approaches Hawaii, with more media attention than plausibly anticipated effects. Even so it will delight surfers, especially those who survive. To pass by North with most rain up there. Windy rain accumulation: == I am off to Japan for a week, confident that PC will manage w/o me. For a while
H. Gabrielle recurves typically and will later go to Spain. There to alleviate drought and thrill some surfers, most of whom will survive. Next two forming will also recurve and add to N Atl annual tally. But not to affect US. -- H. Ragasa is a super typhoon on this side of Pacific. Today getting news coverage for passing south of Hong Kong with some effect there. Guangdong Province evacuated a million people it seems. N. Vietnam may get more from it, before it gets starved of water supply over land.
Haven’t studied it but sounds serious. Later today will look at satellite data. Lowest pressure? Bob Wilson
