 A storm with some of the sting of a hurricane, but with some of
the chill of winter, struck Bermuda Wednesday. Late Tuesday night and
much of Wednesday, temperatures were in the mid to upper 50s as winds
blew steadily at 30 to 50 mph; gusts were 60 to 70 mph.

 The weather has waxed wild over southeastern Australia early this
week. It began hot (it is mid summer, after all), but cooled
dramatically following a strong cold front Tuesday into Wednesday.
Take Melbourne, where Tuesday saw 99 degrees early in the afternoon.
Thereafter, rainy southerly winds ushered in a chill that held
temperatures between 50 and 55 degrees right through the day
Wednesday. Rainfall was 2.9 inches as of Wednesday evening. The shift
in temperature was even more striking inland: Griffith, New South
Wales, reached a blistering 107 degrees Tuesday yet, at the same time
Wednesday, the temperature was only in the lower 50s!

 Eastern Kamchatka, Russia, has taken it on the chin at the hands
of Old Man Winter once again. Tuesday and Wednesday, Petropavlovsk
Kamchatskiy picked up about two feet of new snow which boosted the
snow depth to eight feet Wednesday.

 Heavy seasonal rains have done their thing this week at Paracatu,
Brasil. Striking in two bouts, the downpours left 8.4 inches of
rain.

 Nangipinoh, Kalimantan, Indonesia, had 24-hour rainfall of 7.9
inches as of Wednesday.

 Tuesday to Wednesday were even colder than usual in northwestern
Canada's Yukon Territory. Wednesday, the temperature dipped to -55
degrees in Old Crow and -52 degrees in Dawson; these marks were 25-30
degrees below average for early February.

 It's been a wet week along some stretches of coastline in British
Columbia, Canada. On McInnes Island, rainfall was 3.6 inches as of
late Wednesday morning, local time.

 Much of middle and near-southern South America were unusually
cool on Wednesday. Take Asuncion, the Paraguayan capital, for
example. Here, mid-summer is hot with an average daily high in the
middle 90s in early February. Beneath a thick overcast, however,
Wednesday was no warmer than the upper 60s, or about 25 degrees
cooler than average.
