I just had a lovely meal on a patio. Outside. In Minnesota. In April. In shorts.

Two thoughts:

1. Gosh, eating outdoors sure is nice.

2. WTF

@inthehands

yeah... early April here in CO, going skiing Mon but in COS, 23C/75F and sunny today...

does not make me feel optimistic for summer temps.

@inthehands I feel like I’m seeing less and less mosquitos each year.

I mean I hate them. BUT I do not like the ecosystem falling apart.

(Also in MN. I remember up north being horrific in terms of mosquitos. But they seem almost gone in the twin cities now.)

@breadbin
My impression had been that mosquitos might get •worse• with climate change. I do hear that human control of mosquitos has improved a great deal over the years, so I wonder if that might be it.

@inthehands Not my field, but I wonder if both can be true. They disappear in some areas, and get far worse in other areas. As the climate zones are changing quite a bit.

@inthehands It's autumn here in Western Australia. This week is still meant to be 34°C (93°F) as a maximum.
