Anyone else feel like the weather has been unusual in your area lately? It’s officially October now, and here in Milwaukee it’s more like July or August, muggy and warm. I have my air conditioner blasted up, yet in places like Montana, kids who just started school a few weeks ago are already getting a snow day or two I believe. I’m only 30, but I remember for most of my childhood that by this time of year, we hardly got above 70 once September came and school started in Wisconsin. I love my cool fall weather, but it seems too be coming later every year. On the other side of that coin, I hardly ever hear of blizzards anywhere in the US this early. Also I think Wisconsin has had more tornadoes in September this year than any other month so far, usually most of them happen in June. We’ve also had more rain in Wisconsin in September than usual, the ground is so saturated, it’s like walking on a wet sponge, which is no fun when I play golf lol. I really feel like climate change is starting to show itself now more than ever, anyone else???
Pretty normal for the end of the wet season here. Low 90s, high 80s for the high, low to mid 70s for the low. 50 percent chance of rain every day.
Temps are allegedly gonna start to fall soonish. I'm sure by December we'll be at the mid 70 highs and mid 50s low I've grown accustomed to for winter.
Up north it seems to have changed more, my folks in Ky keep talking about crazy heat waves and such and little rain.
We have had an extremely hot and dry September where I live, hotter than any in my memory, however, if I search I learn that the weather was even hotter and dryer back in the twenties and thirties before I was born. I think these things go in cycles.
As a worldwide average, the temperature is rising only 0.13C/decade, nothing even remotely noticeable.
In Georgia records were set for high temperatures for September. Temps are 15 degrees higher than normal for this time of year. I've lived in the Georgia mountains for over 6 years and this is definitely the hottest so far. It's reached 87 a couple of times this summer where I live but at lower elevations it has regularly been hitting the mid 90's. It's predicted that our highs will be in the 70's next week. It's almost exciting thinking about it. In my 65 years the climate change has definitely been noticeable.
