It’s low humidity & a decent windspeed that makes a good drying day

Yes, since our weather has become more ‘violent’ it’s been necessary to find ways to make the washing less likely to be blown away, including more & stronger clothes pegs. 

Has it become more violent? 

Global warming.  Have you been in a cave for the last few years?

I thought current modelling was that global warming explained the reduction in wind speeds seen over the last few decades as a consequence of the poles warming more quickly than the tropics?

I've seen global warming put forward as the cause of every type of weather; hot, cold, windy, calm, wet, dry.

The weather is definitely weird: I saw hydrangeas trying to flower today in someone’s garden & they normally come out in April or something.

That would make sense. Runaway climate change increases the frequency of all types of extreme weather events. Although periods of extremely calm weather don't make many headlines now that we're out of the age of sail.

Unfortunately, it's like that.  When global warming was first talked about, we were told that Southern England would become like the South of France.  It turned out to be a lot more complicated than that.

Warming weather can mean more droughts and more forest fires.  It can also mean more evaporation from the sea, and so more rain and floods.  More energy in the weather system also drives more storms.

So we're just going to get more weather than we used to.
