Here in Michigan, we are used to unpredictable weather, but this summer has been really dry and this month has been too hot. I am overall cranky from the heat and have lost a lot of new plants this season.
We’re supposed to top out in the low 90s today and tomorrow, and there are heat warnings out.
In the olden days before we knew better, this was called “summer”.
The last three Winters in Stockholm have been very mild. When I moved here in 1999 mild they were not.
In Montreal, last winter was quite mild. The previous winter was awful. Both last summer and this summer have been rather mild. This summer, we have not a day over 32C (about 90F), which is slightly unusual.
On the other hand, measured by when the St. Lawrence freezes in the winter and thaws in the spring, things are much warmer. There is a gold cane awarded to the captain of the first ship in the seaway every year. It used to be awarded in April. Nowadays, it is awarded on Jan. 1 every year.
Not temps but visibility.
I flew out of Tulsa for over 35 years and many years as aerial mapping and so notice things like visibility.
From 1960 to 1998 it has steadily gotten worse on average.
I add this to the climate change side IMO.
Here in New Hampshire it is hot weather and has been a dry summer. The weather will continue to stay hot for another month then start to cool down, as it always does. Then winter comes and it will be cold. Been here a long time and and not seen that basic pattern change although there are variations.
The coming winter how will that be? Anyone’s guess. Last year not much snow at all while the year before that there was so much snow you couldn’t find a place for it when shoveling and plowing.

Most of the posts here only deal with year-to-year differences, and these are expected within our current climates. Even decade-to-decade differences are easily explained within our current climate.
However, if we want to talk about climate change, we have to ask old people if the climate is different today than it was when they we’re little kids. Even then we’re still dealing with noisy data, it’s not all averaging out over 30 year time intervals. The longer we average out our data, the less of these normal variations will effect our climate state. The on-going drought in California is a good example. It may well be the worst in decades, but droughts in California every few decades is normal, well within the current climate of California.
This 30 year time interval is minimal, and whatever truths this time interval gives us also has to be true with a 100 year time interval, or even a 1,000 year time interval. I’ve always thought it fascinating that using 10 million year time interval we have a completely different truth; it’s cold out there today, as cold as it’s been since before the Cambrian explosion.
Although I accept the scientific data that is used to defend the global warming phenomenon, I an unconvinced by anecdotal accounts of local trends in climatology. I remember many mornings when my mom would wake me up by calling out “it’s 20 below”, and I’d be trundled off to walk to school watching my breath crystallize like snow in front of me. Nowadays, it rarely gets 20 below there, and probably never did. You cant ask “old people”, they disremember, exaggerate, and had non-empirical data in the first plalce.
Where I live now, rain is highly variable, ranging from water-rationing drought to summer-long flood conditions. One can remember the extremes, but they are at both ends.
Last winter seemed to me to be the coldest ever, but that might say less about the climate, than about my aging bones and drying skin and miserly resistance to turning up the heat.
This thread is about the weather, not the climate.
Which leads me to ask, is haze weather or something else?
It is a physical thing like rain or sleet or… Particles in the air, sometimes collecting water to become minute droplets etc… 
This thread is about CHANGING weather, which is climate.
Weather changes from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day or week to week. Weather changes all the time. Friday morning there was drizzle and it was cool. By the afternoon it was sunny and warm. That’s weather, not climate. Weather occurs over a short time period. Climate is an average of weather conditions over a long time period.
It’s now warm and wet where I live in Central Thailand; that’s normal for this time of year. But earlier in the year we had severe drought and record-setting heat.
They speak of three seasons here (cold, hot/dry, rainy) rather than the four seasons of temperate climes. When we had an unseasonable hot spell a few years ago my sister-in-law made a joke: “We’ve progressed into a developed Western country now, with four seasons!”
Fairly typical here in Virginia. We got more rain than usual this spring and early summer. That’s about it.
We have had 3 pretty wild and damaging storms in the past 3 weeks. That is VERY unusual.
