Andalucía experienced dreadful weather yesterday particularly in the area around Cádiz. Pictures on the weather channel Meteo showed people clearing mud from inside their houses.

The storms in Andalucía are forecast to last today but then there will be some improvement tomorrow and a return to sunshine on Wednesday.

The destruction and misery that this weather has brought has been almost unbelievable. However, we should be thankful that at least we don't live in a region of tropical storms.

Hurricane Kyle, the sixth for this season, is moving northward across the western Atlantic toward the Maine coast and Canadian Maritimes. It is expected to approach the eastern Maine coast later this evening, with a landfall in Nova Scotia this evening. This is in an area not commonly impacted by tropical storms and hurricanes, but the threats from Kyle will be much the same as those seen further south.

The Eastern seaboard of North America gets hit badly but China, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines suffers worse. Typhoons regularly hit the area, gaining strength over the warm waters of the Pacific or China Sea.

Jangmi is the 15th typhoon to form this year in that region, following on from Hagupit which brought torrential rain to China earlier in the month.

Typhoon Jangmi strengthened into a Super Typhoon. As of 0200 GMT Saturday, Jangmi was 373 miles (600km) southeast of Taiwan, packing sustained winds of 114mph (184kph).
