Why's the weather so unpredictable in Europe?

This Is about as random as It gets.

As such, moved to this forum.

Good question, I think it's mainly because of the global warming. I live in Europe as well, today it's a rainy day with an average of 10 degrees celcius. Tomorrow it will be sunny with an average of 20 degrees celcius, after that again rain. It makes no sense, but if there is something we can't fully control yet, it's the weather.

We can maybe, but we won't.

Climate change (Global warming or not, regardless of beliefs) is occurring. Weather patterns are very different from how they were 5, 10, 20 years ago. This will continuously change. Some areas will get colder winters, some milder, some will have more storms than they used to, some less. The increase in sea levels and temperature of sea water impacts weather greatly.

Absolutely, particularly 30+ years ago.

I remember as a kid, "summer" was just that- started and finished at almost the exact duration of the season. In the last 5 years or so, It's extended beyond It's season and the humidity levels have significantly Increased, making It extremely uncomfortable. At the time of this post, we're 5 weeks after summer and temperatures are still In the mid 30s Celsius (95 Fahrenheit).

It's unpredictable here too. One moment it's sunny, the next thing you know, it's overcast, and then it starts snowing for about 15 minutes and goes right back to Sunny. Welcome to Pittsburgh is all I can say about that.

I thought It was mainly In my part of the hemisphere.

It seems like the majority of the globe Is affected by climate change.

In my home country we've seen the seasons aren't as regular as they used to be. A couple years ago our winter was so unseasonably warm that the spring flowers (usually blooming from April onwards) bloomed in early February. This year, there's been some of the coldest weather we've had since the 90s/before in some regions with unusual quantities of snow.

Indeed! I studied this in quite some depth during my GCSE to A-Level years. Some form of climate change is impacting almost every country/region. There's a lot of dispute over the cause. Regardless, there's undeniable evidence that it's happening. An amusing and long-term example, is in Victorian England, there were mini ice-ages where the Thames (London's big river) would freeze so much they held fairs on it! You wouldn't have seen anything like that for the last 50-100 years.

Very Informative reading, particularly the fact that you've based your views on personal experience and studies.

It's amazing how the Thames river got to freezing point, with enough stability to hold fairs. Not that we'll be around, but I'd love to see climatic conditions 100 years from now.

It does make you curious doesn't it! I enjoyed studying these things, and considered pursuing a career in it.
