Ha. UK now has tropical summers. It’s insane. Hottest May / June days in like 40/50 years. Hard to deny. I remember when we had two days of sun without rain and that was the entirety of summer.
where I am at weather is mixed but like most rain in the spring/summer was rain and storms where a once in awhile thing. That has reveresed. This year was kinda abnormal for us because we had a winter cold enough to be typical of when I was young and we actually had some just rain for a whole day. A rainy day. Anyway that is not typical now. Now we have storms that come and go and don’t hydrate the soil well and as a matter of fact strip off good soil and leave us in constant drought (sometimes minor but we never seem to get out of it). This area was called the breadbasket of the world. Ugh. Oh and snow in the winter is big on soil hydration to.
Had this discussion with my family recently.
I made a point how the UK heatwaves are proof of climate change and that we needed to act (not a very clued-in family).
They suggested we get ceiling fans.
I started being sarcastic:
“Look outside my window, see a barren lifeless desert hostile to any life, don’t worry, we have ceiling fans!”.
“What’s that? Your car tires melted onto the road? Ceiling fans!”.
“Shall I take a ceiling fan out with me like a little propeller hat everytime I need to go outside?”.
They were amused.
