Is there a remote chance this is why we have such foul weather ever since the blast? I have cross-checked a few places and it seems everywhere is relatively cooler than what it should be. Even Dubai and Miami have rain, cloudy and storms. Same here in my place which has seen uncharacteristic wind, rainfall and cloud cover since last week.

> everywhere is relatively cooler

It's warmer than the same date last year where I am.

Comparing with the maximum temperatures of last year.

- January 13th 2022, the day of the explosion was 6.4 C warmer

- January 14th 11.6 C warmer

- January 15th 6.7 C warmer

- January 16th 9.1 C warmer

- January 17th 1.4 C warmer

- January 18th 2.2 C warmer

The difference is even more extreme if I compare the minimum temperatures.

There has been more rain, but that is to be expected when the weather is warmer (in my region).

I understood this assertion differently from the comment you replied to: "it seems everywhere is relatively cooler than what it should be"

AKA it's cooler than the "normal" temperature, where "normal" is something like mean / median for that day over the past 10/20/50 years or whatever.

I understood it the same way, the mean data for the past x years was however more difficult to find, and they seem to do a mean per month or year so not fined grained enough for 1 week.

It rains almost every day in Miami
