    Yep, that’s the beginning of climate change scientists have warned about since ages.

    Don’t worry, it will get worse in the next years.

    Yeah, it’s just like growing up. I remember as a kid hoping the weather would finally cool down by Halloween so we wouldn’t sweat through our costumes. In fact there were a couple years that we changed which costume we were going to buy because it would have been too hot to wear.

    If it’s any consolation, things aren’t better in the Southern Hemisphere. At least not in my city.

    To give you an idea, the 13th of August we had the coldest day of the year, 2°C. Exactly a month later, 13th of September, we’re predicted to get the record high of 37°C. (Americans: 34F to 98F in a month).

    And that doesn’t even tell you the whole picture, the climate is zig-zagging nonstop, it stopped being simply tsundere to go full yandere. “Hot wave! Cold Wave! Hot! Cold! Rabbit season! Duck season!
