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.

Down here in Winchester I would say *fog is almost non-existent nowadays.

Large areas of thundery activity moving north overnight in summer. In
the 1980s and 1990s they seemed to be a regular occurrence after a hot
and humid day and used to wake me up in the early hours.

We seem to get very few of those in recent years, but it maybe just
that I remember them being more frequent than they actually were.
