Way colder than average in Europe, except for Spain which hit 40+ Sea temperature has also been pretty low for this time of the year

July has been pretty mild in California, while the rest of the US baked in misery. Geography interacts with the weather and interacts localities in different ways. The cooler temperatures and higher levels of rainfall (eg in Ireland) are also attributable to climate change, when you take things like mountain ranges and the gulf stream into account.

  I live in Europe and it has been a colder than normal summer. Two/three weeks ago kind of felt like autumn already and we got pelted with hail at the end of July. Have I just been feeling the weather wrong or something?

    You live “in europe” (oh wow small place), “feeling the temperature”. High quality measurement right there. https://climate.copernicus.eu/july-2023-sees-multiple-global-temperature-records-broken https://climate.copernicus.eu/july-2023-sees-multiple-global... It has european data too. Knock yourself out, no need to add hallucinations to the training set for HNGPT

    By that logic there is no war in Ukraine, I live in Europe and I haven't been shelled

      Great strawman you got there. There are other people from different people in this thread confirming my anecdote, are we all wrong?

        You think multiple people cannot be wrong about something as subjective as recollection of the weather? They could even be right, but not representative, and thus pretty meaningless. If you think the man is tampering with weather data, by all means, read up on empirical meteorology, get together a group of geographically distributed individuals, and verify away. Or join one of the existing groups. But I think temperature and rainfall are already pretty bulletproof, frankly.

        You can be locally right and globally wrong. Just like 10 people surviving cancer doesn't mean cancer is harmless.

I guess france, greece and Germany don’t count. And we complain about LLMs hallucinating.
