Yup.  A week or two ago T-shirts and jeans were normal.  Then a week of
-5C, well below the seasonal norm.  Today I met a woman shopping in
Woodhouse in shorts.

Temperature is only one parameter.  Our wind speeds are _WAY_ above normal
for this time of year, as is the humidity.  These are the next axes of
complaint.

"Global warming" is a dumb-down of what's happening.  It's really
"climate change".
