As with many recent years, we've spent much of 2019 reeling from some pretty extreme and unpredictable weather.
Many throughout the United States faced the coldest winters they've ever experienced, which then gave way to a spring that we definitely had to play by ear.
But although summer hasn't been too out of the ordinary over here, the same cannot be said for other parts of the world.
This is especially true for Western Europe, where temperatures are as extremely hot as they were extremely cold for us months ago.
