The hottest year on record so far.

And the coldest summer of the rest of our lives

It’s weird because it’s actually been the rainiest, coldest year for California. Usually it’s pretty damn hot by this time of year.

A global average is just that: a global average. Some places are hotter, some colder. Not every place sees the same things at the same time.

Oh yeah i’m not saying it’s not hot elsewhere, I just don’t understand why it suddenly seemed to switch. Could just be a fluke I suppose.

It's the wavier jet stream that's causing the sudden switches. You either get really hot or cool and (often) wet depending on which piece of the wave you're on

Ahh that makes more sense, thank you!

it’s not
unstable weather patterns will be more common
