Heavy rain pounded northern Algeria Friday night into Sunday. By
Sunday morning, local time, total rainfall was nearly 4 inches in
Constantine, over 3 inches in Bejaia, and about 3 inches at Batna and

whipped up dust storms farther east over Libya due to dry southerly
and southwesterly winds.

Torrential rain spread over the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern
Europe over the weekend, especially Saturday night into Sunday. From

some places. At Valjevo, Serbia and Montenegro, for example, the
temperature dropped from 74 degrees to freezing within 24 hours as
heavy rain changed to heavy snow. By midday Sunday at least 3 or 4
inches of snow had fallen.
