Seriously the climate is going wild. Even in Poland which usually have very stable, we now have pretty cool summer with lots of rain, but soon we will probably be absolutely blasted with heatwaves. We also did not had proper snowy winter for years, and last noticeable one was 9 years ago in march of all times.
Oh, same here in Western Russia. I doubt we’ll be having any serious heat because recent summers were slightly colder overall than in the past.
