25. We're feeling the effects here in Florida

Despite what anyone here in Florida thinks about climate change, when I first moved here in 2015, we used to maybe get a Heat Advisory maybe a couple of times per summer. Just in this summer alone, we had many Heat Advisories per month, and yesterday here in Lakeland, we had an Excessive Heat Warning. We had heat indexes of 115. I have not seen that since 2012, and that was I lived in Northern Virginia. The other thing I have noticed is that the rainy season has been struggling to break even and the thunderstorms have been lacking bite. It's not been as rainy as it used to be. Puerto Rico had Excessive Heat Warnings a few months ago. So there is definitely changes going on in the climate.
