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).
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.

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