A Year Of Weather, Another Planet

It's June, and there is fog. It's about 12 pm. It's about 84 degrees. Suddenly, the fog lifts. And the sun starts to shine profusely through some scattered cloud cover. The temp rises to at least 90 degrees. I can see clearly now, eh? It's like it just switched from to rock. IT's never boring this way. Yeah, so that's how the story goes. And there were later some cumulus clouds along with some lenticulars. The sun was as intense as one would find it in Georgia, but the daylight was longer than it is in Michigan. The cumulus clouds started forming fractalized, extremely intricate forms. Large clouds would be surrounded by three others. Each of the 3 were surrounded by three and those with three more. And so on, and so on. It was a spectacular site for sure. And it would be like this for a while now. It would happen for weeks on end. Then, one day the clouds actually started approaching the ground, after which they actually started moving at a fast pace. This was surely not the usual fog; these clouds were extremely dense, and just like the clouds way up there. On rare occasions, cumulus clouds would swipe the ground, with extreme updrafts. That's how the story goes now. Then in winter the weather would turn into what we would consider summer, with storms and the like, often strong ones with 80 mph winds, large hail, etc. It was just like Earth, except that, instead of summer ending, the opposite happened. Summer lead to even hotter time period. The average sunlight per day could be multitude greater than it is in Michigan. And in fall, the sun was as intense throughout the day as one would find in Michigan in the summer, with the day lasting about 12 hours. The weather here could shift incredibly quickly, with autumn bringing colorful leaves with it, and the previous week it could be full green. In the spring the trees and such would turn green within a matter of a few weeks, down to even a week or so. During the winter nights, the cold would take a grip of the land, making it even in the teens. Perhaps even more colder. But usually, it would be mostly in the 60 to 80 degree range. So when these fronts came along, the weather took a turn that was surely phenomenal, and unthinkable at the same time. Water levels from snow or rain could change just like a high and low tide. Overnight, a lake could rise by at least a foot.
