Lifelong resident. It's unprecedented in my experience to see such a rapid change in the weather pattern here. We have rainstorms often enough, and we get heat waves at this time of year too, but our heat waves don't ordinarily get interrupted by storms with gale winds - they will always diffuse gradually into windy or foggy weather.

I had to remind myself seeing it suddenly pick up last night that no, the world isn't ending, this is an ordinary tropical pattern.
