We had a few nice days here in the Boston area but now it's raining again. Next week looks like it's gonna be sunny again so i'm going to make the most of it.
Too much rain is too much but your actually better off. The eastward shift of the 100th meridian is determined by annual rainfall received. Twenty years ago I could plant gardens anywhere on my property and rarely ever water them with the water hose. After the meridian shift began i had to water more and more each year to keep my garden alive in the summer until now I would have to water every day to keep it alive but the plants are still so stressed from the heat that they don't set fruit (plants are alive but no blooms,they all fall off). It may not seem that important but if you look at the meridian's shift on the map it goes across the United States heartland where most of the US food supply comes from so in a few more years of this the only way to grow crops in the heartland will be to irrigate it, (no h2o= no food) ... https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/dividing-line-past-present-and-future-100th-meridian/ Look at satellite views of the US the west is becoming a desert the east of the meridian is green.

There are a lot of changes. In my lifetime alone, just like you, we both have seen a lot of changes.
I remember when seasons were smooth and timely. Now, seasons are extreme and un-timely and chaotic. Northeast has been hit with a lot of floods and landslides actually.
I prayed for 4 good days this summer so i can spend with my family. I got 4 good days, so any other days are a bonus and i'm grateful to God.
Also, the weather changes every hour here in North East. Within a day, temperatures can fluctuate between 15-20 degrees, so we're used to it.
Next week, they're predicting cloudy and sunny with some thunderstorms so i don't know if we will see the sun next week either, but i will make the best of it with what we get.
Your lucky though I went out this morning and watered a few things and the others I'm just going to let dry up because my water bill is around 200.00 already so it's just no longer profitable(I can buy more than I can grow for 200 dollars)... It's 10:30 am were at 90 degrees so it's too hot to be outside and it's suppose to be 100 today in southeast Texas.
Only if i could come to NZ to build it!Does it snow in Aukland? Or would i have to go to south island?

Another dark day with thunderstorms.
