I'm in the UK. last week was freezing and we had snow. Now that has fucked off it's quite mild. It often snows around this time of the year here so it wasn't unexpected. We've had much worse snow at this time of year than what we got last week. Looking at my smart meter my gas usage is dropping as the temperature has been getting warmer since December (as you'd expect) but the last week was a significant drop (rise in gas usage).
from here on out the weather is only gonna get warmer. while i'm glad to see the back of winter i'm also dreading summer. last year was fucking awful. i know americans will be all like "lol 30C is hot???" but for us in Scotland that is fucking roasting. our houses are built to trap heat, we don't have AC, and we don't get a lot of sunshine so it's quite a shock. last year i was blasting a fan 24/7 for weeks, struggled to sleep, showered 2-3 times a day, and even well into september it was so damn warm and humid.
each year is only going to get hotter with climate change. i love warm weather but i can't say i'm looking forward to this shit again. it'll be fine for a while but it'll get unbearable and i'll soon be wishing for winter.
