 A late-spring snowstorm raged across portions of southern Canada
Tuesday into Wednesday. As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, 8 inches of
snow had accumulated in Brandon, Manitoba. Snow was falling heavily,
reducing visibility to near zero at times. Combined with winds of
25-35 mph, blowing and drifting snow was also a problem. Meanwhile,
7 inches of heavy, wet snow fell on Dryden, Ontario Tuesday before
precipitation changed to rain Wednesday. In all, 3.1 inches of liquid
precipitation was recorded in Dryden. Sprague, Manitoba reported 3.9
inches of liquid precipitation with this storm.

 Heavy thunderstorms unleashed a barrage of downpours in San
Estanislao, Paraguay Tuesday night into Wednesday. Rainfall was 3.0
inches. Iguazu and San Martin, Argentina had about 2.0 inches.

 A powerful storm swept across the Tasman Sea into New Zealand and
has brought heavy rain the past couple of days. Hokitika, on the west
coast was washed with 3.17 inches of rain from late Monday into
Wednesday. Just a little over 2.0 inches of rain fell in Haast. On
Cape Reinga, at the north tip of New Zealand, winds were sustained at
over 40 mph for more than 24 hours with winds clocked at nearly 60 mph
for a short time.

 A slow-moving frontal boundary across south-central China has
been the focus for some heavy rainfall over the past day or so.
Shao-yang had 3.6 inches in about 24 hours time. Lu-shan had just
over 5.0 inches, while Nan-yeuh measured 5.8 inches; nearly 4.0
inches coming in under 6 hours time.

An area of convection in the southern Indian Ocean near the
Chagos Archipelago is becoming more organized with the appearance of
a broad circulation. It is located in an area that is favorable in
the upper levels of the atmosphere for additional development and
could become a tropical cyclone over the next few days.

A strong storm moved across the Black Sea Tuesday into Wednesday.
It brought some locally heavy rainfall across Ukraine, particularly
eastern Ukraine. Dnepropetrovsk had 2.3 inches of rain.
