What type of extreme weather do you get in your region?
TN has the most bipolar weather i've seen in my life, it's hot enough to boil an egg on the sidewalk one day & so cold the top of your pool is a sheet of ice the next. I've seen the extreme of both with a heat wave that lasted weeks killing flowers & even grass (don't remember the date but I know I was under 13 so it had to have been more then 13 years ago), to a blizzard so strong you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you even with the high beams on (it was last December & ended with over 100 car crashes & 5 ft of snow, which isn't a lot to northern states but if there's more then 3 in's of snow in any southern state there's bound to be at least 5 wrecks)
an average temperature of 90-100 degrees in the summer along with tornadoes and heavy hail storms and temps below zero all through winter with severe blizzards.
Extremely hot and melting temperatures on summer and spring, and normal temperatures on winter with a lot of rain, but the temperature is melting in general.
We live in southwest Wales just a few miles from the Atlantic, and the weather here is what I'd call pleasantly boring. Never very hot or extremely cold; wet enough to keep everything green, but not so wet that flooding is a big problem; often overcast, but at least some sun on about a third of the days during a typical year. The only sorta extreme weather we get here are occasional strong gales coming in off the Atlantic during the winter, but those rarely cause any damage to property or injuries.
We're at the same latitude as the northern tip of Newfoundland and southern British Columbia, but we're also at the northern end of the Gulf Stream's current before it swings west towards Iceland and then heads south, so it never gets that cold. Our first winter here, we had an outside thermometer and it seemed like every time I looked at it, day or night, it was reading close to 10°C (50°F). The Atlantic moderates summer high temperatures too. We had what counts as a heatwave here earlier in the summer and it got up to 25°C (77°F) for a few days, but the average August high is 19°C (66°F).
Wales has a reputation for being soggy, but because the land here is just low, rolling hills, most of the rain clouds coming in off the Atlantic just drizzle on us before dumping their main loads further inland.
Britain in general is pretty weird in terms of climate. There are lots of places where very local conditions mean that the weather is significantly different to the regional norm and even places not that far away. There's even an area that could be classified as subtropical since the average temperatures stay above 10°C for more than seven months of the year, putting it on a par with parts of Vietnam and Mexico.
It’s fucking hot. It’s fucking disgusting. I’m not even wearing dresses anymore Bc all the sweat is just making my legs chafe. PANTS.
Tornadoes, flooding(From severe storms), in winter we have weeks on end where it is below 0f. That's pretty much it.
