The remnants of Typhoon Nuri have created a superstorm that is now officially the strongest on record for the North Pacific. As of this morning, the Bering Sea storm had a low pressure of 924 mb, beating the previous record of 925-927 mb in 1977. To constitute as a “meteorological bomb” a storm must drop more than 24 mb in 24 hours; this particular storm dropped 50-60 mb in 24 hours (Capital Weather Gang).

Below is the 6-10 day temperature outlook for the country:
