    Ha. UK now has tropical summers. It’s insane. Hottest May / June days in like 40/50 years. Hard to deny. I remember when we had two days of sun without rain and that was the entirety of summer.

      where I am at weather is mixed but like most rain in the spring/summer was rain and storms where a once in awhile thing. That has reveresed. This year was kinda abnormal for us because we had a winter cold enough to be typical of when I was young and we actually had some just rain for a whole day. A rainy day. Anyway that is not typical now. Now we have storms that come and go and don’t hydrate the soil well and as a matter of fact strip off good soil and leave us in constant drought (sometimes minor but we never seem to get out of it). This area was called the breadbasket of the world. Ugh. Oh and snow in the winter is big on soil hydration to.
