Although weather events of this severity are semi-regular, Saturday's storm hit unusually far northeast and outside of the July-August window in which such storms are commonly seen. These atypical characteristics could reflect the effects of climate change, as warm domes of high pressure are expanding north under global warming.
It's easy to dismiss any extreme weather event as a consequence of climate change, but in reality, they're usually influenced by a myriad of factors that have nothing to do with it. More research is needed before we can establish any direct causal link between the two.
