Quite a nice day, with clouds but a fair bit of sun around in between as well. Webcam shows more.
Bangladesh continues to plead for more aid, following the devastation wrought by cyclone Sidr last Thursday. 150 mph winds and 20 feet high waves have basically flattened the south of the country, wiped out crops that were ready to harvest and killed more than 3,000.
On the cyclone front, a tropical storm is passing over the Philippines, and will finally make landfall in southern Vietnam on Friday. A second storm is brewing in Micronesia, and is set to bring a rerun to the Philippines over the weekend. Tropical storms tend to bring torrential rains, flooding and landslides to the Philippines. Finally, cyclone Bongwe is slowly getting its act together, 1300 miles east northeast of La Reunion. Whether it will reach the island cannot be predicted at this stage.

It has been pouring down all last night and all today here and it is so dark you would think it was evening!

I can't imagine trying to pick up the pieces after Sidr.
