How old are you? It helps knowing due to your phrasing of _in my life_. Also geographic region is a helpful indicator.

They may be German, it's the literal translation of how one would say it in Germany, and we're still having a heatwave - the Oktoberfest vendors are happy AF, but it's far from normal.

For everyone on earth, it's the hottest October of their lives ...

  I mean, I live in Seattle, and it is 57F today, supposed to hit max 63F. Just in my 8 years living there, i’ve experienced more than one October hotter than this. The historical average for the 1st of October is 67F during the day[0], which seems to affirm my observation. So no, your statement is just trying to dismiss a perfectly valid question in the parent comment. 0. https://weatherspark.com/m/913/10/Average-Weather-in-October-in-Seattle-Washington-United-States https://weatherspark.com/m/913/10/Average-Weather-in-October...

    I mean, when answering an impossible to answer question (there is only one person on earth who can answer it), you can only choose satire and sarcasm. This was a play on a fairly popular meme: https://ourplnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/The-Simpsons-Meme-Global-Warming.jpg https://ourplnt.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/The-Simpsons-... So it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.

      That’s fair, the reference definitely whooshed over my head entirely. To those downvoting my previous comment: no, I am not a climate change denialist, and my comment wasn’t meant to argue against climate change by pointing out that today in Seattle is colder than it typically is on Oct 1st. I am well aware that it would be a really silly argument to make.

Dunno where he is from, but it's the same here in Poland. In 90s when I was a kid September was usually around 10-15 C, you wear autumn clothing and it rains a lot. October was often when the first snow happened. This year it's been around 25 C for the whole month, it barely rained, it's like summer never ended. And for like 10 years we had very little or no snow in October-December. For the last few years first snow happens for 1-2 weeks in March/April or even May (!) and it's also the last snow. In 90s snow usually lasted for a few months between December-February. It's not only that the weather gets hotter but the seasons are also delayed by around 1-2 months relative to where they should be...

  I can confirm. I’m in the same boat, as the parent commenter. It’s especially visible because Poland experiences all four seasons that used to be dramatically different. Winter temperatures were often reaching -30 Celsius with heavy snowfall. You’re lucky to see any snow in some winters nowadays in parts I’m from.
