"This is a communication from northeastern Argentina. We are suffering tremendous rainfall since November 1997. Our province of Corrientes has several cities, highways and bridges submerged. In the first trimester 1998 we had more than the annual average rainfall, which is around 55 inches, and in April in some places we had 20 more inches. Our area is between latitudes 26 and 28 south and near meridian 55 west. According to images shown in some internet pages the area of warmed water in the Pacific ocean is receding and the forecast says that these abnormalities should not increase and should come to an end but here in south America. However here we are, I would say, in the worse point of the whole process, with uninterrupted rain since Sunday night. Do you think that the forecast is wrong?"--Larguia Alejandro <larguia@electromisiones.com.ar>
