This tracks with what the rest of the world has been seeing. Heat waves are hotter than they’ve ever been in my life, and that last weeks instead of days. And then when it rains it pours. It’s like you take whatever the climate used to be and dial it up to 11, then throw in a lot of unpredictable too.
