Tuesday proved to be coldest of the year thus far at the Vostok
station of Antarctica. The low temperature was nearly 109 degrees
below zero, and this was followed by a high of -104 degrees. The
temperature held more than 100 degrees below zero right through
Wednesday.
At the other end of the thermometer, Pakistan and northern India
Wednesday baked under high-angle sunshine. Highs of 119 degrees at
Sibi, and 118 degrees at Nawabshah, were reached in Pakistan; whereas
India was led by the likes of Nagpur at 115 degrees and Guna, which
saw 114.
Rain Tuesday into Wednesday was plentiful and even heavy over
Quebec, Canada. Deschambaults picked up 2.3 inches of rain; 1.8
inches splashed Charlevoix.
The season is never too late nor too early for snow over the
higher Alps of Europe. What is more, there are weather observatories
atop a few of the better-known peaks. Wednesday, Germany's high spot,
Zugspitze, observed a snow depth of 118 degrees, which was freshened
by about another one-half foot of snow falling at temperatures in the
mid 20s. On Austria's Sonnblick, where the weather was much the same,
the snow depth rose modestly to 177 inches early Wednesday.
Deep in the desert heart of Australia, no season is the rainy
season, although, every now and then, it does rain prodigiously. This
week has been one such time. At Ayers Rock, Northern Territory, site
of the famous rock outcropping also known as Uluru, rainfall was 2.6
inches within two days ended Wednesday. Coober Pedy, South Australia,
measured 2.3 inches, and Marla collected 2.0 inches.
May was exceptional in its summery heat over the heart of Siberian
Russia. A belt straddling the Trans Siberian Railway eastward from the
southern Ural Mountains was warmer than average by 10 or more
degrees. The city of Novosibirsk ended 12.6 degrees above average, a
remarkable departure for a whole month. A heat wave at mid month
bulwarked this departure: hottest of four-straight 90-degree days,
May 18th, registered 97 degrees, or at least 35 degrees above average.
Wednesday, winds blowing offshore warmed South Africa's southern
and southwestern coasts. In Cape Town, the high of 85 degrees was a
full 20 degrees above June's daily mean high. Nearby, the 68-degree
early morning low at Cape Point was not only 16 degrees above the
average low, but was also 4 degrees above the average high; by
midafternoon, the temperature reached 83 degrees. Also peaking at 83
degrees were Port Elizabeth and Mosselbaai (Mossel Bay) with these
marks about 15 degrees too high for an average day in early June.
This midweek has seen downpours over the Fijian island of Rotuma.
Wednesday to early Thursday morning, local time, rainfall was 6.3
inches with most of this coming during the last 12 hours.
