Yes. It’s called “climate change”.
Sorry to be blunt, but it’s only going to get worse.
Climate change? Never heard of it
Icelandic here. Still no summer.
Just kidding, it was Tuesday last week.
I live in the UK, so summers being humid are just the default here lol
korea here. has rained like crazy for the last few weeks
Here for sure yeah. But that’s cause fire season is getting a late start
For Toronto and GTA I feel it has been opposite for us. We had 5-6 super humid days. But this summer, there’s been less humidity even though it’s been really super hot. Weird times.
Idk if op is in the us or not but there was a hurricane in Texas recently and apparently hurricanes will suck water from clear across the country so this summer was uncharacteristically hot, idk about the humidity, maybe the hurricane is pushing water back this way too.
If temperatures are higher globally, i guess this implies they’re also higher above the ocean, which makes more water evaporate, so there’s more rainfall on the land-side. it is logical that there’s more rain then, and also more humid air, above the land.
i guess droughts are not so much caused by climate change, but by the rectification of rivers, which makes water flow faster towards the sea, which acts like a drainage system. so, it’s a domestic problem (rectification of rivers), not a global problem (climate change).
UK: Had 3 heatwaves this year so far. And it’s always humid :-(
South Western Germany (which usually is the sunniest and driest part of Germany): one heatwave, muggy as hell.
Australia here. Not summer yet.
Did your recent summer feel more humid than usual?
East Germany here. Ridiculously hot and humid.
I live in a mountainous region.
The other day it was hot and humid.
So humid I couldn’t see the mountains through the haze.
No clouds. Just an actual sea in the sky obscuring the mountains less than 20 miles away.
Username checks out
Mid-Atlantic US here and idk if its really been more humid this year than it has historically, but I’ve definitely felt its been uncharacteristically humid recently
East coast has haf a heat spell for half the summer now.
Norway, here. Normal humidity but extremely hot.
It’s actually been dry, especially in Mid-Norway.
Vestlandet, her
Det har vært skogbrannfare grunnet tørke i hele landet, inkludert Vestlandet. Det vil nok regne snart da, om det ikke gjør det allerede.
How many degrees higher than usual on average would you guess?
5ish C. It’s normally in the 20s.30+ is rare. It’s been 30+ for over a week now.
Oof that’s pretty drastic
It’s hot up north in Norway (think polar circle) and cool down south. It’s nuts.
That don’t sound right
Yuck, I have a friend up in Hammerfest.
UK here it’s not raining but it’s 100% wetter this year
German speaker here, we call weather Wetter for a reason.
