At least 10 people were killed and several others injured after lightning struck them at different places in India's eastern state of West Bengal, officials said Wednesday.

The lightning struck Bankura, Hooghly, West Midnapore, Birbhum and North 24 Parganas districts on Tuesday.

"Yesterday lightning killed 10 people and injured several others in the state," a disaster management official said.

"Four people were killed in Bankura district, three in Hooghly, and one each in West Midnapore, Birbhum and North 24 Parganas."

The Galeras Volcano in southern Colombia registered two moderate earthquakes on Tuesday that left two people dead, several homes and roadways damaged, said local authorities.

The back-to-back volcanic earthquakes have placed local authorities in the nearby city of Pasto, capital of Narino Province, on high alert.

"We have activated all of the protocols ...to attend to the emergency," Narino Governor Camilo Romero said on Twitter.

The two people died when their house was crushed by falling rocks.

Torrential rain continued to hit Switzerland for a second night running, this time focusing on the north-western canton of Jura. Villages in the area were flooded as the river Schuelte burst its banks and several roads were closed.

The heavy rainfall also affected parts of eastern Switzerland. It was responsible for an avalanche and landslide that cut of the St Bernhard Pass in canton Valais overnight. No fatalities or injuries have been reported.

Jura took the brunt of the downpour where more than 100 firefighters spent the night pumping out flooded cellars. Some 76 millimetres of rain fell on Movelier overnight, according to the authorities. The villages of Courroux and Vicques were left practically unreachable by road on Wednesday morning.

MeteoSwiss, the national weather service, expected rain to move into Alpine regions and continue throughout the morning before abating later this afternoon.

Tuesday marked the second straight night of heavy rain and stormy weather in Switzerland.

On Monday night, storms caused severe disruption to the cities of Geneva and Lausanne, flooding streets and houses and cutting some rail lines.

A freeze warning was put out on the Big Island of Hawaii that was above 12,000 ft. Rare is what the meteorologists said. This is termed ice nucleation, the other famous volcanoes were Pinatubo and Iceland that grounded air traffic across Europe. So we need to ask ourselves, how big is this eruption now? Snow across Idaho and Montana and some Rocky mountain states, freezing low temperature for N.E US.

Hurricane forecasters are watching another blob of showers and thunderstorms in what's turning out to be a messy start to the Atlantic hurricane season.

On Monday afternoon, forecasters said a system churning off the South American coast has a 20 percent chance of forming over the next five days. It's not expected to become any better organized as it remains close to the Central American coast and the Yucatan Peninsula through the week.

But as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico toward the end of the week, conditions could become more favorable. A track forecast so far points the storm toward Mexico, away from Florida.

The system comes less than three weeks after Alberto made a rare preseason arrival as a lopsided subtropical storm when it formed the last week of May. Having another potential storm develop so soon is not unusual, hurricane center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said, even if it seems stormier than usual in Florida. Last month, the state broke a century-old record for rainfall.

Major Hurricane Bud continues to strengthen and will threaten western Mexico with flooding rainfall this week.

Bud became the second major hurricane of the season in the East Pacific basin on Monday morning, less than a week since former Hurricane Aletta passed over similar areas.

Bud will track toward the north-northwest the next several days, keeping the powerful tropical system off the coast of Mexico. However, it will track close enough to bring heavy rainfall to parts of the country.

Lava from the Kilauea eruption has boiled away Hawaii's largest freshwater lake in just a matter of hours.

In a statement released on June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey explained that lava from the eruption's fissure 8 entered Green Lake and boiled its water away, sending a white plume high into the sky.

USGS tweeted the following day that lava entered Green Lake at 10 AM local time. By 3PM, Hawaii County Fire Department confirmed that the lake had filled and that its water had evaporated.

Located about 25 miles from Kilauea, Green Lake, known locally as Ka Wai a Pele, is the largest of only two freshwater lakes on the Big Island, according to the Only in Hawaii website. Prior to becoming the latest victim of the eruption, the 400-year-old lake was an idyllic spot.

The calendar says it's mid-June, and on Saturday much of the region experienced temperatures that soared into the 90s - but Mother Nature still has some tricks up her sleeve!

A strong cold front moved in late Saturday, dropping temperatures in most areas by as much as 30 degrees for Sunday, and on Monday, some higher-elevation areas even fell below the freezing mark.

Light snow has been falling off-and-on throughout Monday at Showdown Ski Area in the Little Belt mountains.

The temperatures at that elevation have been hovering right around 32 degrees, and some of the snow is sticking to the grass.

Very light snow has also been falling at Big Sky Ski Resort south of Bozeman, and along the Beartooth Pass on the Montana-Wyoming border.

A rare coating of wintry weather delights Chileans.

A rare dusting of snow has fallen in Chile's capital, Santiago.

The icy weather is unusual in the Chilean capital, where the average maximum temperature in the winter month of June is 16 degrees Celsius. In fact, just three days earlier the temperature had soared to a balmy 21C.

Over the past few days, temperatures dropped dramatically and on Monday, workers emerged from their offices to take pictures and play in the snow.

Even President Sebastian Pinera found himself ducking a snowball, thrown by his wife, first lady Cecilia Morel.

While unseasonable snow fell throughout the month of May from the Rocky Montains and northern USA, to Canada, northern Europe, northeast China, northern India, Kashmir and Nepal, it was flooding of "biblical" proportions around the world that stole the show this month.

The US and much of Europe also got their share of tornados and and damaging hailstorms... giant hail is becoming the new normal in many parts of the world it would seem.

Thousands of people across South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa were displaced and left without electricity in some areas as a result of remarkably heavy and persistent rainfall. Somalia, that had been suffering from extensive drought, is now flooded due to unprecedented rain wile the desert nation of Yemen received 3 years of rainfall in just one day as a result of Cyclone Mekunu. The first named storm of the 2018 season, hurricane Alberto, also brought floods and destruction to Cuba.

The sheets of rain, hail, floods and unusual temperatures also damaged a large amount of crops in some of the world's most fertile areas, adding to concerns of a food crisis in not too distant future.

This month's volcanic activity was crowned by Kilauea that continues to produce an unstoppable lava flow that has affected thousands of Hawaiian residents. As the lava poured, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake also shook the big island triggering a swarm of smaller quakes and at least a dozen lava spiting fissures that opened up afterwards destroying 37 buildings, including 28 homes. At least 1800 were ordered to evacuate. The Kilauea volcano also surprised with methane flames at the end of the month, and toxic gas has engulfed the area.

But Kilauea is not the only one spitting lava, many other volcanoes around the Ring of Fire - like the Volcan de Fuego, Sinabung, and Mount Merapi -, are active and raging...
