Is it usual seasonal weather where you live?


Here in good old England it's been raining for weeks on end. Tonight is particularly blustery too. And it's cold.

It's almost June. We should be having nice warm sunny days by now. But alas, the same is forecast for at least the next two weeks.

How is it where you are ?

Climate change again. I live in North America and have noticed a trend that started around the mid-1990s. The winters have been getting much milder and seem like they are about two to three weeks shorter these days. The warmer weather from the southern latitudes appears to be slowly creeping northwards.

I have a related question. Is a "white Christmas" a thing in England? Is it traditional to have snow at Christmas time and, if so, is this becoming less common, or is it pretty much unchanged? In my area snow at Christmas was almost guaranteed; in the past five years we've had a couple of Christmases without it. It's sad.

We don't get bad snow storms anymore. Not like we did 20 + years ago. I can't remember the last white Christmas we had πŸ˜”

jumps from winter to summer here. last week we had the heat on and i bet next week we will need the a/c.

It's been less than optimal for pool openings and gardening...very chilly and overcast two weeks ago and now BOOM! 70s and 80s with very little rain for growing plants and new shrubs

We'll figure this season out yetπŸ‘

Pretty standard transition from Autumn to Winter here in Australia, maybe a little colder than usual, I pulled out the electric blanket last night. We’ve had much more rain than we would normally at this stage of the year, which isn’t a bad thing after years and years of drought.

That's good news for Australia then πŸ€—

We had snow Tuesday night. While it's not unheard of, it is rare that we get snow this time of year.

Same here. Lots of RAIN and still more rain is predicted for all of next week. That probably also means another record breaking FLOOD is coming again.

And this winter we also had RECORD BREAKING FREEZING TEMPERATURES here in TX too causing us to go without water for several days.

Usually in this area SPRING BREAKERS flock to beaches to enjoy the warm weather by MID MARCH, but here we are MID MAY and are still not having BEACH weather yet. But that's also nice because it also keeps the COOLING bill down nice and low (which also makes up for the HUGE HEATING bills we got in FEB that are usually also the lowest Electric bills of the year).

In other words, the weather here has definitely been strange and what one would call UNSEASONALBLE.

And Hurricane season also starts again here in 10 more days. We also made WEATHER HISTORY when HURRICANE HARVEY hit us, stalled out, and stuck around for 2 days instead of blowing past in a couple of hours like those storms usually do.

Well, I'd say unusual in the sense that this spring was the most seasonal one we've had in about 5 years. It was very pleasant, warm days and cool nights. The tree pollen was confined to a smaller window and came and went gradually.

The past 5 years, warm to hot weather arrived earlier and "robbed" us of the vaunted spring weather this area is noted for. ( mid-southeast US ) and the pollen was very heavy, very dense from February through May. we'd joke you'd need a shovel to deal with it.

Pollen is the worst thing about spring 🀧 πŸ₯Ί
