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?)

We have always had tornados but I'm the last 10 years it seems like we're getting more and they do more damage.

The most noticeable are the number of heavy rain events and flooding. Again 10 years ago while we had floods it was not as common to have flooding in all sorts of local areas. Now we see roads closed and small areas of flood damage where we used to only see large 100 year floods.

The heat sucks and has always sucked it just sucks more now.
