Constant changes

[chary]

I dont think the weather is anywheres where its being normal but here for us right now its driving me nuts. We had winter days where it was 80 degrees then the next night it would have a freeze warning. I have no idea what the summer plans to do but I really hope for something consistent.

Yeah, it was crazy here a while back. We had 78 degree weather where people were wearing shorts and then the very next morning, we had snow. It was crazy!

Yes, we had a snowstorm on nineteenth of last month that was a real surprise. Our weather on the coast is supposed to fluctuate between rain and shine, but there's something really different going on with the weather.

I think we are seeing what is normal for a changing climate. Remember, what is considered "normal" changes as well. The term just reflects what has been observed during a limited span of time.

My husband and I have been noticing the seasons shifting. We are now about 3 weeks later in seasonal changes, than when I was about 12 years old.

Normal has changed!

Normal is not normal anymore no matter what, where the weather is concerned. Here in Phoenix, Arizona it should be nearing the triple digits. But, over the last two months the temperature has ranged between 70° and 98°. It has been a roller coaster ride. Last week, Monday, they were predicting triple digits this week. It only got to about 85° today.

Right now in the UK we are having a heat wave which is very unusual. It is not something that usually happens here. Espescially near where I live. Anyway I am not complaining it is nice to get some sun, just unusual.

Sometimes I wonder how much of these changes that we notice are part of larger weather patterns or global warming. I'm the first to jump toward the latter conclusion (and it's probably the most possible explanation) but we should see how things go over the rest of the summer.

It is either super sunny, or cold and near freezing rain. Always off and on, and never the same between the days. Anytime I go out the house I need to take extra for any type of weather.

Well, the roller coaster ride is returned here in Phoenix! According to the weather tonight, we will have triple digits tomorrow through the week until Friday. Then we return to the mid-90s. The question is, or how long?

[Naturally Concerned]

The weather has been pretty back and forth over here as well.

Frankly, it is driving me up the wall and then some!

I don't know how much longer I can tolerate this stuff.

You freeze one minute, and are reaching for the fan the next.

That's the current climate situation for you.
