The UK was considered one of the the last places that would experience extreme climate change, with the cooling effect of the Atlantic. That has changed. Things are getting very topsy turvy.

We'll be lucky to survive the next 3 years, the rate things are going.

I appreciate there is global instantaneous media coverage. Nonetheless, there's been a stark increase in low-probability, high-impact weather events

Changing the facts
I know Pelion well.
The water run off throughout the region is interesting and idiosyncratic.
I've been there when dramatic storms caused flash flooding that dumped half a hillside into small fishing coves. But that was within normal parameters: dramatic (or "catastrophic" in Greek parlance) but not entirely extraordinary. The infrastructure, old and modern, allowed for such events.
These climate change events will damage places like Pelion in ways that cannot be mitigated.

Just throwing this out there but is there really an upsurge in this weather or is it a proliferation of social media. Been reading about the incursion of the American West especially The Oregon Trail. There were Tornadoes that lifted cattle , wagons and humans high up into air.
It was slightly surreal to be in sweltering heat at Clapham paddling pool and packed with people, at the same time brown leaves were falling from the trees around it.

With other world events at the moment I don't think this got too much coverage but Acapulco in Mexico got the shit blown out of it by the cat 5 Hurricane Otis the other day.

The 2023/24 El Niño event is looking notably different from past El Niño events.
During the months and seasons ahead more widespread, global ocean warmth will likely help to spread, not consolidate, rainfall and thunderstorm activity (outside of the tropics) and result in weather patterns that are considered atypical for El Niño.

Aquamarine that image is terrifying but it's not really clear exactly how much of a shift (in numbers) it represents. where does it come from?

I should have added it was copied from here:

The image alone terrifies. What a lot of the climate people seem to be saying now is that there is a homogenization of the Earth's weather playing out and loss of hemispheric variation.
