Climate Change?

After weeks of sunshine and high temperatures, the weather changed suddenly in heavy rains. During Sunday and Monday we had these terrible downpours all day long which is rather unusual for our country. We are used to rainfall but these looked like tropical rains as somebody is opening a tab on and off. A few moments of sunshine and there it goes again. 

It also happened a few weeks ago and there were even some floods in Amsterdam! (photo from internet)

    Rain is often good when it replenishes the land, but not so good when there is flooding!

    There does seem to be a change in weather patterns even though some still refute it.

    Dearest Marianne,
    Indeed this looks like a tropical wet monsoon...
    Hope it will stop and that you have still some nice weeks of summer!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    I'm going to be in Amsterdam in September and am a little perturbed at the long range forecasts with so many days of 'isolated showers', etc.
