In fact, the weather is extremely bizarre. We had great heat, up to 35C, which is a lot for this time of year, and even more difficult because the warming came completely suddenly, after a very long period of low temperatures.
The strange thing is that all these phenomena described in this article have a very local scope.
For example, when I live in a big city, I found out that the center was flooded, but in my suburbs it was only a little rain.
Even stranger is what I have already mentioned, these sudden changes in weather are not reflected in the barometer!
I have my own barometer, and its fluctuations are very small, whether it is raining or shining and hot.
At the end I would like to add that these weather madness, as usual, appeared after "spraying". The sky turned milky blue.
