I remember writing about the upsides of the absolutely insane weather we're having this year. But I never got around to writing the downsides.
In August, we've had the worst floods (probably) ever. Our family wasn't hit but a lot of other people were not so lucky and it's impossible to imagine what they went through.
I also can't remember if I ever had to wear jeans in August before! And drink a cocoa to get warm! Yes, this is the same August that gave us super heat three weeks later.
It's the end of October by now and the weather is still bonkers.
This, for example, is a 24-hour lightnings map on October 28th (from Lightningmaps.org).
Half of the sky was clear with full moon and Jupiter shining bright - the other half of the sky was one lightning after another.
I loved it :-D
