We had a couple of record hot days for the date. Happens repeatedly every few weeks now.
Many trees still have their leafs, often still green and all. Some dropped them in August and have grown new ones. But my garden has several dead plants, completely devoured by bugs in numbers never seen before.

Record drought too. It rains, but the deficit is half a meter in some places, causing the ground to collapse and several hundred thousand houses over here are either damaged or in immediate threat of damage. Watering fields is still banned in some places, due to continuous low river volumes, and have been for over half a year now.
Just a week ago several gas stations were sold out as boats cannot bring it in.

The climate is getting warmer on average, but it also is getting more extremes.
North America's cold spell is one such extreme, as is our drought and heat.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
