In The Netherlands we've had a very warm winter which was detrimental if not disastrous for butterflies, and now we've had the coldest Whit Sunday in 80 years with only 12.1 Celsius:

There is a snow in Serbia also: http://www.rts.rs/page/stories/sr/story/125/drustvo/2318783/sneg-obrao-malane-u-zapadnoj-srbiji.html

We had it in 2015, in 15th May, so it's not super unordinary, but still, it's not something that happens every year.

There's snow and in Croatia, on Dinara, link:

Snow records broken from Maine to Beijing in the last weeks of May. We were told that snow would be a thing of the past by the global warming crowd and that our children would never see snow again. With the proclaimed warmest year on record, how is it possible to have snows @ 15X the old records shattered across the USA and China?

22.Degrees Celsius here today. Sparking nice day.

Authorities have shut schools, sprinkled water in streets and rushed a water train to a parched state in western India where scorching temperatures have reached up to 51 degrees Celsius (124 Fahrenheit).

Several hospitals in the desert state of Rajasthan have set aside beds to treat heatstroke patients. Television video Saturday showed patients being wheeled in on stretchers, with paramedics covering them with ice packs and pouring water on them.

J.P. Gupta, a meteorologist in Lucknow, the capital of northern Uttar Pradesh state, said the heat wave will remain intense until next week, when dust storms may bring relief from soaring temperatures.

The main summer months in India — April, May and June — are always excruciatingly hot across most of the country, before monsoon rains bring cooler temperatures.

Weeks of sweltering temperatures have caused more than 160 deaths in southern and eastern India.

http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/0/204009/World/0/Heat-wave-kills-more-than--in-southern,-eastern-In.aspx

Officials say most of the heat-wave victims were laborers and farmers in the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, though temperatures elsewhere in India have also hit 45 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit).

Schools were closed last week in Orissa until at least April 26. Officials in Andhra Pradesh are distributing free water and buttermilk to help people stay hydrated. And everywhere, people are being urged to stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day.

Police have reported 55 heat-related deaths in Orissa, at least 45 in Andhra Pradesh and 66 in Telangana. Indian broadcaster NDTV says a 12-year-old girl in Maharashtra state died from the heat while fetching water.

A couple of day ago in some regions of Italy and Switzerland has snowed, at altitudes of 1000 m and above, but still, it's a little unusual for this time of the year such abundant snow, here just a few pictures:

Yesterday, south central France, up to 28 C, sunny; first real Spring day this season. Then, today, rain and storm all day, 11 C throughout the day.

We didn't have a real winter, now we haven't had a real Spring. Less than a month away from the Summer Solstice, too.

 

[PERLOU]

Sur la Côte d'Azur en France (Sud Est), beau temps agréable et ensoleillé, pas de pluie depuis un bon moment mais du vent soufflant fort trop souvent...

On the Riviera in France (South East), beautiful and pleasant sunny weather, no rain for a while but the wind blowing hard too often. . .

We had stories about tornadoes a couple of years ago, but this time (thanks to smartphones?) we have a plenty of videos.

Needless to say, tornadoes are not a common sighting here.

South central France last few days: rainy and cool. May go down to 6 C in the next day or two.

China recieved unusual blizzards and snowstorms across four provinces over the last two weeks just weeks before summer. This occurred in the USA during the same time. Unusual is an understatement when a desert area gets a blizzard when it should be average temperatures of 30C/89F.
