I fuckin can’t stand summer or spring.
fall is ok because it has pretty colors and cool days.
I miss winter. you know, the winters where there was two feet of snow outside that lasted for more than 24 hours.
I remember the last time I got two feet of snow, it all melted the next day when it was 94°F
Actually, winter is a little different. We call it climate change because as the averages get higher, the extremes get more extreme, and that’s true of cold temperatures as well.
Actually, I just saw recently in the US we’ve got snowstorms and glacial flooding. In the summer.
If only. Where I live that’s not really been the case. The temperatures all year have just gone up. Except last summer when it was cold af the entire july and august for some reason and we had no sun.
Jetsreams in the atmosphere and ocean currents are breaking down. While they would usually carry cold fronts/warm fronts predictably, these pockets of extreme temps are now acting more erratically. Like yoi said, we had extreme cold and winter storms last year which resulted in mild summers for some. Now there are massive pockets of heat across the Atlantic, causing extremely hot summers right now for the east coast of the US as well as the EU.
We’re at the point now that without some agressive carbon capture, we will experience climate collapse. Zero emissions is no longer enough.
But we gotta burn that oil, gotta make more money now!
Don’t get me wrong I am not going against you. Just pointing out we have not had any real winters for about 15 years where I live. Sure there were a couple really cold days but those were a thing before as well. No extreme winters have been had.
It might be the summer we’re the most fond of in the future… Gimme ugly July
It would be had I not got sick due to the cold.
Maryland is now Flordia and Florida is now hell…
GOT IT
Well, Florida has always been hell.
If you aren’t conservative or wealthy, or better yet both, it most certainly is. Especially with home insurance.
I remember when 30° was considered acute.
ur acute :)

Surprise! Natural Disaster!: ???
you’ve got 13 months in a year?
Chaos Month is the worst month.
Everything’s bigger in TX 🤷♂️
It’s a leap month

Meanwhile there was just a snow storm in Idaho when it should be around 55–80°F this time of year.
Oh no. you’ve gotten california seasons.
Good news! you can start growing shit year round maybe. Like there are even a few extreme heat resistant plants, but i’d build some hoop houses (hoop house) to protect your plant babies wherever law allows
It’s usually like this were i live, but the fall sometimes has some cute floods that kill a couple of people and destroy buildings
The really cool thing about climate change is that even as the average temperature of the planet increases, winters get more and more severe. Think about how damn hot the rest of the world has to be if one continent is experiencing record lows while the overall temperature of the planet is hotter than average
Yeahh
What’s rarely communicated clearly enough is that “warming” means “more energy”. If it had been called something like “atmospheric energy buildup” from the start, maybe there’d be fewer people saying dumbshit like “so much for global warming” every snowstorm.
Quality edit
Thx, i hate bad quality ones
Spring:
In Canada, when can we get that winter?
Isn’t canada really cold?
You need that winter guy to be huge and bulky as well.
Climate change is making extremes more references. At the same time as we’ve been having record heat, we’ve had record winters as well.
They all need to be jackyl and hide style today. Couple days of cold April weather, then bam 40c.
Ive had long hair almost all of my life. Today Im getting a mohawk because I’m tired of being this sweaty all the time.
Ive been rocking the shaved sides long top look. I usually keep it up in a pony tail or bun. its the best of both worlds, you get the coolness of short hair (mostly) and ability to style if thats your thing.
This is how it feels year-round in Phoenix, Arizona. 😭
IMO it’s much more subtle. There are still really cold days in winter. There are still mild days in summer. You can even have a whole summer that’s cool or a whole winter that’s incredibly cold. I’ve heard that one of the effects of climate change is that the weather is more unpredictable.
Having said that, there’s a winter festival here that relies on naturally frozen outdoor water. A couple of years ago they had to cancel it because for the first time since it started it never got cold and stayed cold enough. If you look at the data, the length of that festival has been getting shorter and shorter every year. As for summer, having an air conditioner used to be uncommon, now it’s a necessity.
It’s tricky because some of that is lifestyle creep. An air conditioner used to be a much more expensive luxury, but now they’re cheaper. Technology changes, expectations change, so behaviour changes. We’re also notoriously bad at remembering what was normal in the past. We remember events and extremes, not averages. But, the number of days a festival can stay open in the winter is a much more concrete thing. It was just a given that it would be about 2 weeks when I was a kid, and they had a lot of freedom when it could be. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the weather to cooperate, and often it can’t run the full 2 weeks.
As someone from the equator:
I went to a country on the equator that cracked the code. Live at the equator but on a bigass mountain many thousands of feet in the air and you’ll get the consistent days and weather but at a temperature that won’t roast puny AC adapted people alive 😭🧠
Also, the record high temperature in Singapore (1 degree north of the equator) is 9 degrees Celsius lower (37C) than France’s record (46C).
I was dreading summer this year in SC since the scorching spring just canceled the rain for weeks on end and launched us into extreme drought, one of the worst since they started making records. So I expected surely summer would twist the knife and crispify everything even worse. Then surprisingly summer turned around and has unusually had almost too regular deep bouts of moderating rain and thunderstorms that pulled us back to only abnormally dry for the year so far and kept things from getting too hot (though the humidity has miserable, like stepping out into a mouth). I thought spring was supposed to be the rainy season here… still, even with a lush green summer saving us I think it was still not great for a lot of the native insects and the less drought tolerant native plants. One of my blueberry plants and the maypop seedlings I had going up and died even with some supplemental watering and the previously numerous bees mostly vanished when their numbers dropped off a cliff. That left little competition when paper wasps hatched and proliferated after the worst was over and I’m a lot more leery of those territorial guys and the aggressive yellowjackets than the cute bumblebees due to my phobia. 😔
