Ok, so I keep getting gaslighted by people around me (USA) when I comment how crazy the weather is, and how we’ve never had it like this, and they say things like “oh, you just notice it more now because you’re older” or “the weathers always done this”
But I don’t think it’s normal for weather to be -10 degrees F with snow, and then 3 days later 75 degrees F! That seems insane to me!
Unless I’m wrong and we really have had this insane type of weather “forever”. But it doesn’t feel like it.
the Question: Am I crazy, or right, and is there proof?
Right I get that. I was referring more to extreme weather events. I feel like there are WAY more storms here now than there used to be as well.
No. There aren’t more storms, it’s more that the storms that there are are more extreme in intensity.
Just look at hurricane data. The average intensity of storms has gone up, but not necessary the frequency.
This is a consequence of more moisture being in the air from warmer general temps.
