Ever since that tsunami and I heard the axis is tilted, we have been having wierd (or is it weird) weather. Does this mean that we all have to get use to this miserable humidity, wind, and hotter than blazes weather every year? What about other parts of the world? Are our British, Italian, German friends having the same problem?---sorry if I overlooked other countries--

Try Washington DC, with all of the other "hot air" it was 99 yesterday with 95% humidity. Today we are due to go over 100. You can't breathe and cars are stranded on the sides of the road, overheated.

I think we need to apoligize to Mother Nature....

We've had strange weather this year here in East Texas too. First it rained and stormed almost every day, then it just stopped and we badly need rain now. High was 100 yesterday, and has been in upper 90s for several days. Tornados have hit near by, but not super bad ones like have hit so many areas of the country this year.

Do shifts in the earths axis, caused by earthquakes, have an effect on the weather? Basically, no --

All averages have some outliers. This year's weather has definitely contributed to the averages in that manner...

For here, I just wish it would stop being so windy every day, I'm getting sick of it...

But it sure is a lot better than going through the tornadoes and other vicious weather going on back east.

Our hearts go out to all the victims of these events, let's hope there aren't any more this year...

We are in drought with forest fires ... and hurricane season has just begun!

It's not very warm here in the California desert either. Usually on Memorial Day we are preying it only hits 101 degrees. This year we are in the 70's with winds 30+ mph and gusts to 50 mph. Today it is 77 and will only be 90 in about a week or so. I also heard California has been having tornados near Chico (northern end) and San Diego (southern end) California.
