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?)

(In Jutland) The heatwaves are stronger and longer, the sudden miniature monsoons are more random and cause more damage. The weather was always unstable here but it's becoming more extreme. We are not coping, we are not preparing. A good portion of the population doesn't even think it's happening.

Sadly that last bit is also true where I am. Ugh.
