Aside from heat that I am fundamentally not built for, we had an actual tornado near me yesterday. Tornadoes are not completely unheard I guess, but they’re not common or something that we really plan for where I live. Humidity has also been wildly over the top, and pretty consistent instead of occasional. It feels almost tropical, or what I would imagine tropical weather to be. I’m from a traditionally cold-ish, temperate place. We have always gotten all kinds of weird weather but it feels a lot more consistently steamy and intense than it used to. What weird new weather things are happening where you live? How are you adapting to them? (How on earth do you cope when everything feels wet?)
Oh Yeah I recall snowbanks at least a metre tall, some of it was definitely drifts and plow leavings but I could comfortably carve out snowforts in the front yard. I now live about 60 km from where I grew up in an area that historically has a reputation for snow, I maybe got a few cm last winter with one night giving us 20cm, think I needed to shovel 3-4 times the entire winter, usually melted within a day. For context, that’s just over 20 years difference, even in the early 2010s I recall having snow and seeing ac as less needed, where I went to uni in particular you just really didn’t need it for most days of the year.
Summers seem wetter, way more overcast and rainy than I recall, which has caused issues if I recall, wine producing region. Heatwaves are brutal when they do hit, was pushing high 40s with humidity.
