I was in Delhi maybe 5-6 years ago for a week before going to the North. It was May/June. The temperatures in the morning (7AM) were around 100F or 40C. I'd walk out on my hotels tiny little balcony with little sunlight seeping through the cracks of the streets, and I'd still get an instant burn on my skin.
At that time I had visited many different countries in Asia (Cambodia is the only one that could compete with India in terms of raw heat), but to this day I will never forget that feeling of just rapid heat acceleration in such early morning hours.
Imagine what that does to the environment "behind the scenes".
Right now, I am in Norway (northernmost part of Western Norway) and it will be May in two days. Last night, we had a snowstorm so strong all the mountains in the area got covered in snow. The Winter itself was average, with hardly any cold periods except for a month of "expected" Winter.
I don't know how anyone plans to address global warming, I really don't, but I know for a fact that weather 20 years ago was much different to what it is now. Where I grew up - Winters used to be -30C (-22F) for 3 months straight and Spring would kick in. For the last 10 years or so, in many places in Eastern Europe - a Winter consists of a little cold a bit of damp weather, that's it.
