Hottest year on record so far.
Surely it's likely to have been at this stage, not likely to be.
Barely felt like it at all. Whole summer without a decently consistent nice warm spell, just middlingly warm and cloudy, never proper beach weather. Winter weather came very early too in August and hasn't left at all. 2018 - 2023 all at least felt like they had proper summers.
Don't get me wrong, obviously increasing global average temperatures are bad for the strain they put on infrastructure and how they affect small poor global south island nations disproportionately, but in this country with humidity of 80%+ and wind makes even 10°C feel worse than a sunny day at -20°C , and summers barely get above 30°C which is where proper hot weather starts.
At least until 2026.
Its felt like it. And this winter has been shite, warm and wet. Its meant to be cold and dry.
Isn't the rain a good thing, because of the hot summer and drought?
Objectively, yes its needed. The reservoirs are back up to 100% now which is good.
The problem is its too much rain all at once. Used to be spread a bit more throughout the year. Plus its been very warm, until the cold snap started today I still had spring/summer flowers in my garden.
