What's going on with the weather ?



As an adopted Irish, I feel I have the right to moan talk about the weather. After all, that's what Irish people do all the time: " I can't take the cold anymore", "It's very windy today", "Do you think it's going to rain?", "At least we had 2 days of sun","Here comes the rain again" etc etc. This is not a myth, there really can be 4 seasons in one day, even a half-day.
An every year there seem to be a new record of some sort: The warmest summer in the last 100 years, the coldest month of May ever, the rainiest July and so on.
Well, let me tell you, I think we are experiencing the warmest December ever.
I was going to work yesterday morning and I saw this sign on the road : 5:49am - 14°c.
Now, the funny thing is I started writing this post last evening, and today , on my way back from work, I heard on the radio that yesterday was the warmest day of December in the last 65 years!!  I was ( almost) right.
What I know is that we're going to pay that back. In Ireland it can be 15° one day and it would be -5° the next. 
But here's something to cheer you up. One of my French friend, who used to live in Ireland, once told me that she loved this country because the sun was showing up at least once a day. It can be early in the morning or late in the evening, but the weather is so changeable that the sun always comes out at some point. And you can't say the same about France.
