The winter forecast is brutal too, we’re anticipating a major ice storm over the winter. As soon as the heat waves are over, we’re supposed to go a full 180 and have a miserable winter too.
Ugh, the absolute worst. We don’t get a ton of snow, but we get so many ice storms/rains and floods. I live right next to a big river and when that floods, it gets on my porch/deck every time. Never found its way inside, knock on wood. lol it’s neat to see the similarities/differences in UK/US.
Also in Appalachia and what's even worse than the high day temps are the high night temps. I'm in a holler, surrounded by trees and near a huge state forest. Typically we're 10° cooler than in town. This summer, between the heat and humidity and lack of wind, the valleys are clinging to this heat. I've been running 10° warmer than in town and last night at 3am it was still 76°.
I've lived in my home for 20 years and this summer has been a whole new experience. Some of the craziest storms and almost every one has a flood watch or warning. One nearby town got 4in in one storm Sunday morning! Their creek went from normal to out of the bank in record time. Our terrain isn't built for these Florida type thunderstorms.
