And yet it will probably be the coolest year for the rest of our lives.

Storms were also way more brutal than usual.

Jokes on you, I’m in Australia and have been freezing my arse off all year.

This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry of the Future" book

This summer was very wet and cold with few sunny days and far more rainstorms than I'm used to for summer. Perhaps other places found it hotter but for me it was an unseasonably cool summer.

I'm in Florida and it's been fucking hell. Even more so than usual. And now a second hurricane is on the way..

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Although sea surface temperatures are also setting records this year, we have yet to feel the full impact of the warming of this phase of the Southern Oscillation.

For those in the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has yet to release data on August but found that July was the 11th-warmest month on record in the contiguous 48 states.

So far, it has worked out how climate change may have influenced three heat waves that happened earlier this year, along with the weather that fostered wildfires in Canada.

More relevant to this summer, the team looked at heat waves that struck China, Europe, and North America in July.

The attribution project looked at the warm and dry conditions that helped fuel the spread of these fires and found that climate change has made it twice as likely.

Combined, it's difficult to escape the conclusion that, for much of the Northern Hemisphere, the summer would have looked very different if it weren't for the climate change that our carbon emissions have driven.

I know there's big trouble ahead but currently the summers here have just been getting better and better. Talk about conflicting feelings.
