The title says it all. It's November and I have yet to wear anything but shorts and a t-shirt. It's 25C outside and whenever I go for a walk I sweat like a pig. This time of the year I should be taking out my heavy coat, jeans and a jacket should be the bare minimum.

I am located in Athens, Greece where the weather is usually nice but not this nice...

It's like a daily reminder of the doom that has to follow. How are you coping with this?

Temperatures have felt pretty normal for the UK this year, but in my corner of it, the number and severity of storms has been unusual for this time of year. I'd expect to see a lot of rain in late October/early November, but not storms like this, and not so many of them.

I'm coping by not breeding. Nothing else I can do. I've given up on politicians listening and companies doing anything, and I do my best to live sustainably as my finances allow.
