Severe weather conditions are being observed across the globe, particularly in Australia, USA, Middle East, United Kingdom and Europe.
While people in USA will get relief from severe cold wave conditions, parts of Middle East will be lashed by heavy rain and snow. Here is a look at the weather forecast for these places:
Australia
Adelaide which was suffering from bushfires, now prepares for the highest rainfall received since 1974. In South Australia, a couple of stations have already recorded 100 mm of rain in the last 24 hours. More rain is likely in next 48 hours.
USA
Midwest and eastern parts of USA will get some relief from extreme cold weather as day temperatures will rise to settle around 20°F. In the northeastern parts of USA, a new storm starting from Western Canada will move across the Northern States before the end of the week. This system will cause light snowfall in the region. This storm will affect areas from New York to New England and Buffalo to Boston. It can also cause a blanket of snow on the roads of Washington DC and Baltimore.
Middle East
Yet another spell of snow is on the cards for Turkey and the city of Jerusalem during this weekend as abnormally cold air remains stagnant over these areas.
