Has the weather in your area been changing over the past few years?

It’s been much drier. We’ve had much less rain than normal. There’s no change in the temperature.

Been the same here as long as I can remember.

I’m sorry to post multiple times. I didn’t make myself clear. The decline in rainfall is a trend reaching back quite a number of years.

The winters have been warmer and dryer the last few years leading horrible fire season in the summer, but it’s not global warming at least that is what every frighwinger is screaming.
And you know they never lie.

It fluctuates but the only change is winter weather coming more in Jan-Mar rather than Oct-Mar. And much less snow totals.

Yes, but it’s hard to know if this is a normal 10–15 year cycle or if it is actual permanent change.

Generally, Atlanta (and the south) has been dryer than ‘normal’ in fall; last year and this year it was so dry there were fire warnings out for rural areas.

And of course we have had fewer hurricanes the last few years, like much of the southeast and especially Florida.

Now, are these changes due to El Nino and/or La Nina? Or are they part of a climate-change-caused set of events? Hard to know. Ask me in 15 years.

I can’t remember last week! In the winter it’s cold and in the summer it’s hot. In spring and autumn it’s warmish and coolish.

It’s been in the 20’s the past couple of days, with snow on christmas and light snow today. Supposed to get into the teens at night this week and next.

I would say that it’s been milder here both in summer and winter. Not that we haven’t had a few ‘f-you’ hot streaks, but the last few summers have been nice…this last one especially. And so far this winter, it hasn’t been especially cold. Though the long term projections are that this will turn in Jan and Feb because of el nino.

I’m in Central Florida just north of Orlando. We were colder a little earlier than usual this winter. We had a lot of cool weather the beginning of December and then it warmed up again and then cool again. Yesterday and today were warm. We also had a few days of rain, which were more like June or October rain. None of it is extremely weird though, just more like a little bit of a shift.

We are in an El Niño cycle so maybe it is normalish for that, I don’t know, or I should say I don’t remember.

The weather shifts don’t seem to be as evident in Florida as it is in other places. Although, I recently was saying to my husband I would be interested to know if we are having more frosts more south. About 20 miles south of me there used to be huge orange grove farms, and a major frost killed almost all of the trees about 20 years ago I think. That freeze the owner of this particular major farm he decided not to rebuild his farm.

The farmers really feel the differences in the weather. I saw a 60 Minutes episode about vineyards in France or Italy not being able to grow grapes and new farms in the UK for wine because the temps are warming.

Winters here have been getting milder and wetter and there has been a marked decline in visitor numbers at the Scottish snow resorts.

Summers have been getting warmer and sunnier which is an improvement.

La Niña will be back and then the summer and winter will be colder and wetter again in the cold weather states. That’s not to say climate isn’t warming. I read somewhere that this El Niño is very strong or warm, I don’t remember the word used.

Same changes. Just wait 5 minutes and it will change again.
