If a human being is able to survive the heatwave, it’s not because of an overpriced fan, and also not because you finally convinced the landlord to get an AC. Those multiple stinging showers that freeze your head for the main part of the day are also not the reason why we are still alive after the record three digits of heat. It’s because we know it’s temporary, so yep, life is a placebo, everyone.
But with so many climate anomalies happening all over the world in the past years, it’s hard to stay positive. What if we are doomed to hurricanes, floods, droughts, record snowfalls, and chunks of ice falling from the sky like it's not a big deal? I mean, have we played with Mother Nature for too long?
So in order to pay tribute to the powers of weather that we often underestimate, and to reflect on the scope and frequency of such crazy climate conditions, we are about to dive into pics that show how your plans should never dare to challenge the weather forecast.

Unforeseen Weather
Brendan 3 years ago
This image has been circling the internet for ages now. Also considering the change of clothes, I'm pretty sure it's staged.

Or maybe it's a different day. Same intentions. Just doesn'y take a photo every time she leaves her driveway?

You forgot to take the roof with you, didn't you. In the UK, we can rarely be confident in the weather not to! Having said that, I've been nearly as wet as that after being caught in the rain on the motorway and finding it was 15 miles to the next junction to be able to pull off and put the roof up.

That model doesnt have a roof for whatever reason and the just took the black one off. You can see the striped one under the black one in the first pic under the shoulder strap

the sky s clearly cloudy in the first pic, so I'd say it was only unforseen because she didn't bother to check her weather app.

I also have a Jeep and this has happened to me. I was able to find some plastic to cover my dash which possibly saved my electronics. I know others who didn't think of that and it was quite costly.
Kitty Fenerty 3 years ago
She’s wearing a different top, so it’s not really true that both pictures were taken on the same day.

Sooo you pulled into the garage, changed your shirt and took off the poor dogs harness before you took a picture...

Two different days. Same car, same dog, same driver, but different clothes, and the dog's harness is missing in the wet photo.

And,the doggo no longer has his seatbelt/harness.... different days, has to be.
Theodore Theodora 3 years ago
She's wearing totally different shirts. Different days? Or did she get home, change, refuse to dry the dog, get back in the car, and then take the second photo?!

I got caught out the other day with the sun roof open when it started raining while I was on a duel carriage way with no lay-by. You have my sympathies.
Bored Panda talked to Rob Jones, a TV meteorologist and hurricane chaser who runs an all-things-weather TikTok channel where he shares interesting facts and peculiarities about climate anomalies. As a child living in Florida, Rob said he was interested in their daily summertime thunderstorms and seasonal threats from hurricanes. “So it was only natural to attend the University of Miami (Hurricanes), study weather, and pursue a career in meteorology,” he added.
When it comes to the most extreme weather conditions, Rob named places like Death Valley, California, or Antarctica. But, generally, “people don’t live in the places where the most extreme temperatures occur on earth,” he said.
However, things are changing now. “The temperature in places like the village of Lytton, British Columbia in Canada reached 49.6°C in June 2021 when the average high is closer to 25°C,” Rob said and added that: “Some scientists have calculated that this is a one in 10,000 year heat event for that part of the world.”

Tried Going To Visit My Boyfriend On My Day Off, Had To Turn Around Because The Fires Apparently Opened A Portal To Hell
The meteorologist suggested that “a warming world may have been a factor in placing the right weather patterns in place to have such an extreme event in that location. Just think, Las Vegas, Nevada has never recorded a temperature that high!”
“When we talk about extreme weather, we think of hurricanes and tornadoes. The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season was extremely active by measure of sheer number of storms, but not the most active by other measures. There’s always more than one metric to look at when defining hurricanes since they are very complex beings.”
Rob continued: “The most intense landfalling hurricane of the season was Laura, which struck with 240 km/h winds. We tend to see more about this type of weather because of the incredible images. There were a total of 81 storm-related deaths from Laura, but imagine that the heatwave last month in British Columbia, Canada probably had more fatalities with the Vancouver coroner indicating that there were more than 100 deaths suspected from the heat,” he explained.

Woke Up At 230am To Make A 2 Hour Drive Up 10000 Feet To See The Sunrise Atop Haleakala. Have You Ever Seen Such Beauty?
However, when it comes to extreme weather events, Rob suggests not starting to jump to conclusions immediately. “First, let me start off by explaining that 1 single extreme weather event cannot be definitively linked to climate change. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate is the average of the weather over a long period of time, such as the climatological standard of 30 years.”
Rob added that “while it might be tempting to use an extreme weather event to highlight climate change, it is not scientifically good practice (or accurate) to do so.”

What It's Like Escaping The Fires In Oregon. They Lived A Mile Away From Blue River, Oregon
Having said that, the meteorologist said that there are a few reasons why it seems like we are seeing more frequent extreme weather events. “The first is that everyone has a camera with them at all times in order to capture intense images of extreme weather. The second reason is that we disseminate information more and more widely everyday through traditional media, new media, and social media.”
“Yet another reason we capture more frequent extreme weather is because we are building large cities in places that experience extreme weather events like hurricanes, for example. Miami had a population of 300 people 125 years ago and now it encompasses a megalopolis of over 6,000,000 people. Wouldn’t more people experience hurricanes if we build large cities in a hurricane zone?”

In Ten Seconds I'm Going To Discover The Value Of Lifejackets And Renter's Insurance
Rob explained further: “We build homes in river flood plains, construct dams, levies, and other unnatural barriers in locations that are naturally meant to flood. Sometimes 'human nature' is no match for Mother Nature and she reclaims what is rightfully hers. Of course, the final reason is that we may very well be seeing more frequent and more extreme weather, but the cumulative observational evidence is not yet clear.”
This is because “climate is a long term average of the weather and we simply need more data on a multidecadal time scale,” Rob added. “Climate scientists still expect that as our world continues to warm, we will experience more extreme weather… sometimes more extreme in intensity, sometimes more extreme in frequency, and sometimes both.”
He concluded that “Weather is our world’s way of redistributing solar energy trapped inside of our atmosphere,” and added that “The more energy that is trapped by rising levels of greenhouse gases, the more redistribution our atmosphere needs to do in order to try and reach equilibrium.”

Some of these makes me think that those who took photos were lucky to be alive. I mean they weren't at the wrong place at wrong time and in this case the wrong place might just be their own home (or a particular part of home) or vehicles.

Tornado went through my town last Thursday.... Destroyed nearly 100 homes. The one in the photo was a two story home where the bottom floor collapsed, that's the top floor you see. I drove by and it's heart breaking seeing the damage done in 5 short minutes. 72 homes deemed unsafe for entry, many more with massive damage. Cars upside down, roofs gone, fortunately no serious injuries or fatalities. I live 4km from where it hit E6X7IZXWEA...eb5234.jpg

You should be scared, and should have been scared for at least 25 years, since we've known climate change was real that long at least. (I first heard that it was a hypothesis in 3rd grade in he mid-70s.)

god okay this isn't really the time or place but i'm thinking about it after reading some of the connected reddit posts. if you have animals and live in a place that can get disasters that might require you to leave home in a hurry, PLEASE take them with you. if you seriously can't find them and you have to get out NOW, i understand (it upsets me immensely, but i understand), but if you're officially evacuating or have thirty seconds to grab them and get to the car/the basement/the bathroom in the center of your house, please please please do it. they're part of your family and they deserve better than dying because they don't understand the threat and/or can't get away like you can. i'm sorry for the rant but fires and tornados scare the $hit out of me, and personally knowing that i have three untrained dogs, three cats (two of whom hate being held), bad stairs down into the basement, and a big house leave me so paranoid about whether i would be able to get them all to safety.
