Vey much. We get long periods of unchanging weather. I remember as a child that when you were planning an outing you could seldom tell if the weather would hold for a few days. This summer we had months without a drop of rain. It's hotter, too. And in winter it rains day after day. Flooding is more common. I am nearly 70 and I certainly see big changes.
@Posy I am about half your age and the seasons are noticeably different even from when I was a child. Much milder, wetter winters (meaning far fewer snowball fights with my family, which I miss); much hotter, longer, drier summers (I remember August being the last month with a chance of properly warm weather when I was little, then it extended into September, now it's often October!); and it feels like storms are more frequent. It feels like the last decade in particular has seen a huge shift in what we can expect from our weather and what is coming to be accepted as "normal". I am a relatively young person and the fact that I have seen this kind of shift frightens me quite a lot, really.
Yes climate change is a huge concern but can only be tackled as a worldwide effort, i hate to say it but i believe we are far too late to alter mother nature.

It is alarming. It troubles me most that we could live better lives in relation to the planet but we don't. I don't mean a bit of recycling and giving up plastic, though that has its value, I mean the senseless destruction of the land for profit. If rich nations lived more simply and poor ones were less corrupt..... Oh no! I'm starting a rant. Over and out!

Mankind has always been too greedy, unfortunately we are our own downfall

I like the weather here in Surrey as is, only wish there were more rain in the summer. I also can’t stand the really short days and long nights in winter, but this is not actually weather anyway.
