Default What weather do you see less of in your area these days?

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.

summer storms rumbling up from France undercover of night that we used
to get in the 80s just don't seem to happen anymore. Also proper clear
nights that give thick frosts, giving a covering of rime on
playgrounds that kids can slide on. These days every time a high
pressure system becomes established it seems to quickly fill with low
cloud

I've found that fascinating how most people's perceptions are similar
with the same things cropping up. We're probably not imagining it then
and not making nostalgia tainted observations.
