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?)

We used to have winters over here. When I was a child we always had ice and snow, a market on the lake, and a kind of tour de france for ice skating going through many cities. That's all gone now, it's just rainy.

When i was a kid we had sometimes 60cm of snow over night and the whole town stood still and we skied down the mainstreet. At night it was absolutely magical. Now we have rain and dirt.

Yeah, as kids, not so long ago like 12-15 years we built Iglus in our driveway, now it just a normal driveway just not so hot as in the summer.
