Aside from heat that I am fundamentally not built for, we had an actual tornado near me yesterday. Tornadoes are not completely unheard I guess, but they’re not common or something that we really plan for where I live. Humidity has also been wildly over the top, and pretty consistent instead of occasional. It feels almost tropical, or what I would imagine tropical weather to be. I’m from a traditionally cold-ish, temperate place. We have always gotten all kinds of weird weather but it feels a lot more consistently steamy and intense than it used to. What weird new weather things are happening where you live? How are you adapting to them? (How on earth do you cope when everything feels wet?)

Summer is now Wildfire Season, and we can expect smoky air off and on for pretty much all of August.

I grew up in southern Oregon, and that was common, but moved to Seattle in 2007. I have seen the summers go from very temperate to wildfire season in that pretty short amount of time. Summers feel like the summers growing up

Ha, in the mid 2010s I looked at a job in Josephine County but wasn't sure I could handle fire season. Joke's on me I guess!

Yeah, it was something I forgot about until it started happening here. It really sucks to have to choose between air quality or comfortable temps inside your house.
