Weather whiplash
- Gloss
- a quick change from one extreme of weather to another, for example from very cold to very hot, or very dry to very wet
- Usage
- Winter days balmy enough for shirtsleeves, followed by record-setting polar-vortex lows. Day after day of blue skies, followed by torrential rains. Jungle humidity, then air so dry that skin feels like sandpaper. Temperatures spiking past 90 degrees for a day and then falling back to the 50’s and under. There is an informal term for all these weird back-and-forth weather extremes we’re witnessing: weather whiplash.
