Temperatures throughout the world ranged from -65 degrees Fahrenheit in Alaska to 105 degrees in Sydney, Australia this week. Rain and high winds lashed Washington state as cold temperatures and snow blanketed Europe. The Sacramento Bee has assembled a collection of 22 extreme weather photos from around the world.
