Rainfall warning issued as up to 100 mm expected in N.B.
An unseasonable weather system could dump more than 100 millimetres of rain in some parts of New Brunswick Thursday, raising the risk of localized flooding and overflowing creeks and rivers, says Environment Canada.
The federal weather agency has issued rainfall warnings for large parts of central, southern and western New Brunswick, with rainfall totals reaching 60 millimetres along the Fundy coast, as well as "some indications rainfall totals could surpass 100 mm locally."
Environment Canada's advisory does not specify which parts of the province are expected to receive 100 millimetres of rain.
The weather system also brought freezing rain overnight to northern parts of the province, according to CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin.
Those areas include Northumberland, Gloucester and Restigouche counties, with the freezing rain expected to transition to rain by early afternoon as temperatures rise, she said.

Heavy rain along with gusty southerly winds are expected to persist into Thursday evening, even in areas outside of the rainfall warning areas, she said.
Temperatures are expected to rise to between 3 and 10 Celsius Thursday, with southerly winds blowing at 30 km/h, with gusts up to 60 km/h.
Higher gusts are expected along areas of the coast, she said.
Overnight into Friday
Rainfall is expected to lessen overnight, with temperatures dropping to between 1 and 6 Celsius, and winds reducing to 20 km/h, gusting to 50 km/h, Simpkin said.
Skies will be mainly cloudy going into Friday, with rain transitioning to snowfall starting in the west and moving east going into the afternoon.
Temperatures will drop anywhere between –4 to 0 Celsius with westerly winds of 20 km/h, gusting to 50 km/h.
Rainfall totals for Friday will be between two and five millimetres for southern parts of the province, and northern regions could see between two and five centimetres of snow.

12 more temperature records broken in B.C. as hot weather persists
Another dozen temperature records have fallen in British Columbia thanks to the ongoing spell of warm weather brought to the province by a ridge of high pressure. Monday was also the third day in a row that the hottest spot in Canada was in B.C. The mercury peaked in B.C. at 36.7 Celsius in Osoyoos Monday afternoon, a new daily record. Other areas where the 12 temperature records were set Monday included Trail, which reached 36.6 Celsius, and Castlegar, which hit 36.4 Celsius and broke a record set in 1918. Environment Canada says the 'early season heat event' that brought 15 daily records on Sunday will persist in some areas of the province, including the south coast and parts of Vancouver Island, the southwestern Interior and the western parts of the Kootenay District. There are 26 special weather statements in place for southern B.C., with daily high temperatures expected to remain in the high 20s to low 30s in some coastal areas Tuesday, reaching into the mid-to-high 30s in the Interior.

Severe cold front bringing snow in South Africa causes fatal accident, power outages
By Siyanda Mthethwa JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -A severe cold front sweeping across South Africa since the weekend brought heavy snowfall which has led to road closures, power outages and a fatal road accident, officials said. Five people were killed in a road accident along the N2 highway due to the adverse weather, Eastern Cape transport department spokesperson Unathi Binqose told local broadcaster Newzroom Afrika on Tuesday. The South African Weather Service warned citizens late last week there would be a big drop in temperatures this week across the country, accompanied by disruptive rain, damaging winds, and snow over eastern areas. South Africa regularly receives snowfall during its winter months from June through August, with temperatures diving below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Snow has been reported since Monday across provinces including Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Free State, prompting closures along sections of the N2 highway that connects the provinces, according to the KwaZulu-Natal transport department. Power utility Eskom said in a post on X that it was "experiencing a high number of customer calls nationally, due to widespread power outages caused by inclement weather." More resources were being secured to ensure prompt resolution to the power outages, Eskom said. The weather service forecast that the cold front would persist through midweek.
