Government meteorologists said that unexpected monsoonal winds blew directly across the country from the southern part of the earth at about 100 km/h,producing several rounds of stormy weather. Nearly 250 houses in the capital Colombo were damaged.

Bias formed off south-west Mexico during the last week,but the outer part of the storm swept western Michoacan State,killing four people when their wood and cardboard home fell down.
