It is both - because the jet stream is weaker (probably because the Arctic ice is melting), it is both warmer overall, and colder in some places. The weakened jet stream is wobbly, and cold air is held in places where it doesn't usually go.

Global weirdness.

We are seeing more extreme droughts, and more extreme precipitation events. These are linked; not contradictory.
