Without drawing global warming into it, do you have an impression that
certain weather types, if any, in your area have become less frequent.
Until this week I would have said gales and that probably is still true to
a large extent. The lack of snow showers off the North Sea, particularly
any giving significant falls of snow and perhaps violent thunderstorms
with associated downpours and flash flooding are the most significant
here.

Polat lows.
OK, there were never that common, but I'm sure I remember a few here
in the early-mid 90s, but no proper ones since then.
