Should we talk about the weather?

Well, they did say that climate change would lead to weather as polarised as the US political climate. Climate change is not going anywhere though, so... I suppose we have to figure out ways of mitigating the effects.

It's floods now, then..? The local media are completely silent about it as I have seen. Bad? Really bad..?

It's been on the prime time news in the UK. Nothing like as bad as Pakistan but still very bad.

I am trying to paint, but the heat is making it a very unpleasant experience. The temperature is 29° with 27% humidity today. Shouldn't complain, because it's the first real summer weather we have had this season. Luckily sweat drops have no effect on oil paints!

It has been a record setting cool summer here on the coast, we haven't had a flood for some months.
There's been a slow moving flood working it's way through the inland rivers.
Food production has suffered, over recent years we've had record dry and record wet.
The curse of living in a time of interesting climate, I wonder what the next few years will bring.

My money is on more-ish of the same-ish.

...Should probablty make it literal and invest a lot more in crop and livestock modification. Methinks that it may become relevant enough to be worth its weight in hundred dollar bills sooner rather than later.

Could be dementors, they are known to hang out in neighbourhoods like that.
