8. You are feeling the effects of global warming.
Middle latitudes can expect a cooling trend, due to increased cloud cover (warmer air holds more moisture).

"Global warming can induce a colder climate for many of us.

Consider first some observations of oceanic change over the modern instrumental record going back 40 years. During this time interval, we have observed a rise in mean global temperature. Because of its large heat capacity, the ocean has registered small but significant changes in temperature. The largest temperature increases are in the near surface waters, but warming has been measurable to depths as great as 3000 meters in the N. Atlantic. Superimposed on this long-term increase are interannual and decadal changes that often obscure these trends, causing regional variability and cooling in some regions, and warming in others."
