It's a risky business drawing connections between particular examples of unusually bad weather and climate change. Half the time anyone does this, someone will come up with an example from the last 100 years which was in fact worse. Still, I am getting the impression lately that there is something a little peculiar going on. My, very cautiously offered, evidence:
1. The Tennessee floods. Record breaking rain, and a meteorological explanation given for it in the CSM.
2. Rain in the Arctic in April. This is, it seems, very, very unusual at this time of year.
3. This morning: a deadly tornado and storm in China, which is, according to the BBC, pretty unusual.
