As poles warm,the circumpolar jets are deforming,taking the Jet Stream with it,and moving weather around the map.
It's good that we didn't have severe tornado outbreaks.We've had the warm moist air for super-cell storms.We just didn't have the C.A.P.E.

And we understand that there are increased shear winds which prevent tornadoes and hurricanes from forming. Sometimes we get more events, and sometimes less - it is the extended "seasons" and the increased strength of the storms that is indicative.

And the increased precipitation, and the increased droughts, and the warmer temperatures, and the higher average temperatures, and the higher overnight lows, and the shifting seasonal changes - that all indicate very rapid climate change.
