Here in Houston, starting with the late winter through the spring, we had a LOT of STRONG winds, such that I don't remember from previous years.
Then, most of this summer, a terrible drought. Like, two months or longer with no ran.
And very hot, like, over 100* several days in a row. We generally do have those high temps, but not day after day, week after week. With us being so hot, it's strange hearing that many of you are having uncommonly cool weather.
