Look on the bright side, this’ll be one of the coolest summers of the rest of your life. 🙃
Didn't the last five years smash the records of the previous five years which smashed the records of the previous five years and so on...
Every year is a record year, now.
"This is the hottest year ever!"
"No, no. This is the hottest year so far."
Looks like it started around the 70s. That plenty of "five year buckets" in 5.5 decades.
I can say from a human perspective in my area the big difference was the 90's. Mainly that winters that were normal in the 80's were considered severe in the new millenia. Its kinda funny because we just had that. People were like wow this winter is brutal and its like. This use to be what you would expect. Thing is now people expect it to be mild.
there is a weather event called el Nino going on which will make it extremely bad this year.
Next year, at least in Europe. Maybe it hits America this year?
Are you guys practicing your mad Max make up and cool quotes. I'm already building a junker in the back yard, can't wait.
I should find me a station wagon and a hot mom.
Sorry, all that's available is a hot wagon and station mom
