Southern Florida is basically a swamp right now to receiving 10 to 20 inches of rainfall in 60 hours.
Out in the Great Plains, it appears we're finally going to get more than two consecutive days without rain. It well be toasty, though. Temps in the 90s with high humidity. It's starting to feel like we've developed a tropical climate.
But climate change is just a hoax, amirite?

I wonder what the tipping point is for Florida residents to say "enough is enough I'm moving."

Different answers for the wealthy ones and the poor ones, I expect.
I have been wondering the same about the sun belt if years like last year get common.

When they can't get insurance. Three major insurers have refused to insure Florida property owners. More are moving in that direction. The ones that are staying charge exorbitant rates.

And so another likely record breaking summer begins here in NJ.
High 90s into 100+ most of next week.

Temperature forecasts for the middle of this week have gone up since Friday. This morning they said the Heat Index forecast for Wednesday is 105F/40C.I just looked at the temperature forecasts for next week. That was a mistake.
(Still won't be as hot as much of the country, but I'm a [kitten] when it comes to hot weather. 20F/-7C I'm fine. 90F/32C I'm miserable.)

It's going to be happening all over the country, I suspect. After hearing all Spring about what a wet year California was having, I just read this morning that there's already a large, mostly-uncontained wildfire outside of Los Angeles.
There's also the National Flood Insurance Program, which I don't know a ton about. I remember hearing a radio program a few years ago - I think it was around the time Houston was being flooded 3-4 years in a row - that one home owner was being forced to rebuild every year and get flooded again, because the NFIP wouldn't simply buy him out and let him move (and of course nobody was fool enough to buy his property). He wanted to move, but the program would only reimburse him for repairs & rebuilds, which of course only got flooded again the next year. That was just one anecdote, but we can imagine there could be any number of homeowners around the country who are similarly stuck.

Wet and damp again.

I don't know if you get our weather a few days after us (if at all), but it was incredibly cold here this week.
Adelaide minimum was 3.6C a couple of days ago.
There was snow in southern Queensland too.

Spoiler :
I don't miss those temperatures. It's a nice, civilized 12C here right now (granted, it's just after 3 am).

9 degrees at 7:39 am. Warm for mid winter.
It's 22C now. Some clouds. It might rain tonight, though hopefully not until after the Canada Day celebrations. It's not fun to sit out on the hillside at the Folk Festival when it's raining.

7 degrees Celsius. Raining. Rained yesterday.
