The world is blasting through climate records as scientists are sounding the alarm that 2023 could be the hottest year on record, and that the climate crisis could be altering our weather in ways they don’t yet understand.
It’s the wavier jet stream that’s causing the sudden switches. You either get really hot or cool and (often) wet depending on which piece of the wave you’re on
It’s weird because it’s actually been the rainiest, coldest year for California. Usually it’s pretty damn hot by this time of year.
A global average is just that: a global average. Some places are hotter, some colder. Not every place sees the same things at the same time.
Oh yeah i’m not saying it’s not hot elsewhere, I just don’t understand why it suddenly seemed to switch. Could just be a fluke I suppose.
it’s not
unstable weather patterns will be more common

Ahh that makes more sense, thank you!
