The culprit? A stationary front over the state. Contrast between warm and moist and cool and dry air masses has helped the showers and storms develop.

About 45 miles west of St. Peter in Comfrey, a town of about 550 people, the fire station, the city liquor store, a cafe and a church were all demolished, matched the previous highest temperature of 100.4 degrees recorded during the strong El Nino of 1982-83. Conditions in southeast Asia were so dry some islands in East Timor had little or no rain during their usual December-January rainy season, the report said.

"These global effects are not all attributable to El Nino; there are other factors," spokeswoman Gorre-Dale cautioned. Weather experts don't yet know whether the reverse pattern, La Nina, is likely to develop later this year, the report said.

Gustavus Adolphus College, where most students were away on spring break, was a disaster. Many campus buildings were damaged, including the chapel, which lost its 137-foot spire.

Minnesota residents cleaning up in tornadoes' aftermath By Kevin Powers The Associated Press ST. PETER, Minn. Residents shoveled broken glass and hacked through fallen trees Monday following rare March tornadoes that destroyed or severely damaged an estimated 819 homes in southern Minnesota. An 85-year-old man and a 6-year-old bey were killed and at least 38 people were injured, three critically, in Sunday's violent weather. Over two hours, the tornadoes cut a swath of destruction through nine communities, pulverizing much of St Peter andComfrey.

Wind carried bits of paper from the damaged towns up to 55 miles away. Gov. Arne Carlson cut short a trip to Washington so he could tour the damaged areas, and sent National Guard troops to help. The Federal Emergency Management Agency made available some of the trailer houses used last year to house victims of disastrous flooding along the Minnesota-North Dakota state line. St Peter, a town of 10,000 residents, was hardest hit Sunday.

State officials said more than 500 homes were destroyed and 1,700 others were damaged. People who were able shoveled glass and other debris into the streets Monday and plows and front-end loaders deposited the wreckage in state trucks. "We have the desire to clean up, but we don't have the tools," said Tom U.N. report: GENEVA (AP) Due to El Nino, last month was the world's wannest February since global record-keeping began in 1856. In a report Tuesday on the impact of El Nino, the World Meteorological Organization said the average air temperature around the world was 1.35 degrees higher than normal for the month.

"We must caution that this does not indicate temperature change for the whole planet, although it does show how unusually strong this current El Nino really is," agency spokeswoman Eirah Gorre-Dale said. The Northern Hemisphere had its warmest February since 1950, the report said. The El Nino report predicted a return to normal between June and August, slightly later than previous forecasts, which had called for El Nino-caused storms to end in May. The large pool of abnormally warm water in the eastern Pacific that causes the phenomenon has begun to shrink, the report said. Conditions in Indonesia, northern South America and southern Africa are expected to continue to be drier than usual, the report said giving February was warmest and the school had heavy damage.

Fifty homes were destroyed and gas leaks forced residents to evacuate. Comfrey was without water, sewer or electricity, and power company crews weren't expected to reach the town until Thursday. Power was expected to be out in portions of St Peter until Friday, and the rural phone system outside town was not working. But water was safe to drink and the area's 911 system was operating. It was only the seventh time on record opposite effect of El Nino, bringing heavy rain where it was dry and drought where it was wet.

Meanwhile, unusually wet conditions are expected to continue over the coasts of Ecuador, Peru and southern Brazil, where forecasts predict rainfall "far above normal" in March through July. The report said heavy rainfall over the Indian Ocean and eastern Africa eased during February. Disastrous flooding in eastern Africa has lessened for the first time since October, it said. National average rainfall in the United States was at its third-highest level for the month of February since 1895, said the report, while average temperature was the sixth warmest on record.

Hawaii was unusually dry in January and February, while Hong Kong experienced its wettest year ever in 1997. The high temperatures in Europe, North America and East Asia were caused by warm tropical air being pulled north by a change in jet-stream winds, said Gorre-Dale.
