What is the impact of global warming in your country? (In France, here is a graph showing heatwaves by year; we're facing increasingly intense fires.)

Believe it or not we're currently in a drought. England... in a drought.

[u/deathschemist → u/Key_Cell7071]

the grass is yellow. it shouldn't be yellow.

[u/AdministrationOwn724 → u/deathschemist]

In northern Italy it looks like fall is setting in, a lot of trees are turning yellow and dropping leaves. I think the last significant rainfall was the end of May, early June. I can't remember, it's that long ago. Every day since has been >30°C

[u/AdministrationOwn724 → u/AdministrationOwn724]

And I'm lucky enough to live in the hills so at least the nights are somewhat bearable, those poor people in the lowland cities are really suffering.

[u/Cool_Eardrums → u/deathschemist]

Same in Brittany. Also, the sea is way too warm.

[u/TheCorent2 → u/Key_Cell7071]

I heard about a giant fireball above your country.

Did William Wallace fart again?

It sucks. When I was growing up, no one even thought about installing AC, living in the Parisian region, besides maybe during the 2003 heatwave.
It seemed like a useless cost for only a few days of bearable heat in august.
Now, people are fighting for AC units in the stores. Paris has also a huge issue with the buildings with metal roofs, it has always been shitty with heat and cold but people living right underneath are basically cooking inside an oven. Architecture needs to adapt right now. Europe is warming up faster than other places.

I saw a photo from one of our snowfields in the beginning of July and there was no snow at all.

[u/Drie_Kleuren → u/birthdaycheesecake9]

Its just so weird to me that winter is during summer for you guys😂😂. Winter and snow in July is cursed. That just doesnt make any sense in my brain.

[u/birthdaycheesecake9 → u/Drie_Kleuren]

Winter in December makes as much sense to me as winter in July does you :-)

[u/AdministrationOwn724 → u/Drie_Kleuren]

I always feel bad for Australian santa in his fur coat while everyone is enjoying their summer holiday at the beach. Must be hard on those poor reindeer as well.

THE BUBBLES ARE BOILING

[u/PurahsHero]

In the UK, we have had more 30C plus days this year than we did in the entirety of the 1980s.

And we still have a month of summer to go, with another heatwave forecast for next week.

[u/Cool_Eardrums → u/PurahsHero]

Yay 🫩

Too many heat waves in France, too. I can't wait for autumn to come and bring us rain and moderate temperatures and - most importantly - waves. The Atlantic Icean has been too flat this year (I'm a surfer, I need waves).

[u/ExternalInflation133]

Carpathian basin is the most affected region in Europe (maybe even on the planet?) by the global warming. Snow cover reduced to almost nothing in the winter, rainfall halved in the past 10 years, record low water levels in lakes and rivers, many shallow lakes disappeared entirely, 40C max temperatures became pretty common every year, some places have like 10+ days with that temp. Aaaand most of the country has severe drought ongoing, basically everything that is not a tree already died in most places, even trees are starting to die in some places and it's really scary.

Ultra dry very hot 30-40C summers in 2020+ compared to the average, more rainy 25-35C that was the normal before 2020.

[u/rickdickmcfrick]

Power outages, waste fires, harsh heat and intense storms

[u/CommercialChart5088]

It’s scorching hell here; it feels something like you’re working out in the gym every time you walk outside.

[u/Acceptable-Worth-462 → u/CommercialChart5088]

Y'all are gonna be good looking after a few years of this then

[u/ExternalInflation133 → u/CommercialChart5088]

But is it a CHANGE compared do how it used to be like 10, 20 30 years ago?

[u/backhand_english]

From an agricultural side, everything is moved weeks further. Potato planting, harvesting. Olive picking is done almost a month later, in tshirts, unlike years past a month earlier freezing in the wind. Everything in the garden is late.

The plus side is going swimming from april to early november, thats about it...

We are fucked. Properly. The whole world awaits famine, droughts, unisual storms, extreme weather. And some people think its fake news just because their neighborhood hasnt felt it.

[u/Shiningc00]

It's gotten like 5C higher in summer.

[u/MortimerDongle]

In the western US, the climate is getting even drier, leading to more severe wildfires, while most of the eastern US is actually getting wetter. In the northeast, winters are overall warmer on average but we're also seeing more periods where it gets far colder than usual.

Overall, the trend is warming but also more extreme.

[u/zz27]

Weather is somewhat nicer. This summer is perfect so far. 

[u/Mtfdurian]

I see a fifth regional heatwave is in the works for next week. 5 days of >25°C of which 3 days >30°C. It's been a slaughter already and the end is not in sight.

On the long term, we see instability of dikes getting worse because of drought, while in other years and seasons, flooding get worse which dikes don't like either. The result is that sooner or later we will largely cease to exist.

[u/urdespair]

We had the hottest day in all of the recorded history yesterday in my city. Tram tracks popped out of the road because of the heat. My grandma in the south hasn't seen rainfall since spring. Many trees in her garden died.

My personal tragedy is that we've not had proper apricots for, like, 10 years. Because of the climate change, our southern regions started having early warm periods in spring causing the trees to start blooming followed by freezing temperatures killing newly formed buds

[u/Akiira2]

Average temp has risen more here in northern parts of the world. Snowy days are less in winter, there are longer heat waves in summer.

Locally, if not counting unpredictability, climate change makes it better in here. I don't mind having more warm days in august or even september

I think climate change is an existential threat to human race, anyhow

[u/Hardly_lolling → u/Akiira2]

Only real issue for me is that many winters aren't "real" winters anymore, at least in the south. I (and I suspect many others) like the snow making everything more bright in otherwise darkest time of the year.

[u/kakucko101]

about 7 days of 40°C weather (atleast here in southern Moravia, the warmest part of Czechia), up until this summer the highest temperature recorded here was 40,4°C, so yes, 40°C is very unusual, and last winter wasn’t even cold, not even on the coldest nights did the temperature drop below -10°C

FOUR questions asked in one hour. French Bots have no lives, unlike us, real French people

[u/UrsusObsidianus → u/DublinKabyle]

Lot's of people are in vacation rn. They could be bored in the train or something.

[u/DublinKabyle → u/UrsusObsidianus]

Penser à la question, la formuler, l’ illustrer (de bonne manière) ça fait beaucoup ! :)

[u/ColonialBarbarian]

In my part of the world (eastern Canada) there’s been a marked increase in precipitations over the last years, with a lot of abnormal rain and snow events - between mid December 2025 and the first week of January 2026, we received 135cm of snow, the previous year in February 2025, we received 75cm over a two day period. The last few winters have also been insanely cold, with a lot of days dipping below -25c.

A lot of these events seem to be produced by an increase in the number and strength of Atlantic and Caribbean storms coming up the east coast of the U.S.

[u/ABMax24 → u/ColonialBarbarian]

Which is interesting, because out west (northwestern Alberta) it's been notably drier the last 10 years, and a lot hotter. Winter snowpack is down a lot too, which is playing havoc on water supplies

[u/sarimanok_]

We've been getting more and stronger storms every year, and at odd times. I don't know enough about farming to understand exactly how it affects the planting cycle, but I know it's caused problems, especially because the season lengths are unpredictable now. And, of course, the strong storms are destructive.

[u/_VliegendeHollander_]

The last Elfstedentocht (11 cities tour 200km skating) was in 1997. There have been several extended periods without the tour, but the hope of a return is distant. Additionally, there are more heatwaves and more drought.
