Indeed.
Where I live the most noticeable difference is during Summer time. We used to have really warm Summers, we'd wear T-shirts and shorts from June to September, August giving us the temperature pinnacle.
Today, we get some Summer warmth during June, and from July to September we get chilly nights and moderately warm days. Come October and we get a heat wave, as if the Summer warmth was holding back and piling up during the previous 3 months.
In Winter we recently started to (quoting Oberon
) import really cold wind spells from Norway, that last for a week or two.
Weather patterns are indeed changing, partly because of human intervention, but also because weather patterns do change over time, regardless. The Earth wobbles, continental plates drift, etc.
