is there another place in the world with more yo-yoish weather than Oklahoma?

Alberta has extreme weather changes:\n\n\nOn Jan. 11, 1983, the temperature in Calgary rose 30°C (from –17°C to 13°C) in 4 hours, and on February 7, 1964, the temperature rose 28°C (51°F°), and the humidity dropped by 43 percent.\n\n\nIt is not uncommon for an Alberta clipper to cause temperatures to drop by 30°F (16°C) in as little as 10 to 12 hours.

I have to agree with you, although I do not live in Ohio.  I live in MN.  I wouldn't say that things are 'tropical', but things are definitely changing around the globe.  Like you, I remember as a child having deep amounts of heavy snow for long periods of time.  Snow drift as high as 8 feet!  The last 10 years snow amounts have never compared to what we got in the '80's.  Although now days, we don't get snow that melts away by noon.....That is probably because MN is slightly more north that Ohio.  Also, it really depends on the system that is passing through.  \nGood question....\nHope you get some fun answers!

There's no such place as Oaklahoma... tho if you're thinking Oklahoma... then it's OK

Yep, you're right -- the west coast of Africa. Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S.\n\nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Meteorology-Weather-668/lightening.htm

You can thank the upper-air weather pattern for all the rain. I'm a storm chaser from Texas and these blocked patterns (upper ridge over the Rockies and upper trough over the Atlantic states) spell disaster for us looking for tornadoes across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We constantly stay dry, and you guys constantly stay wet. Until the pattern changes to a more traditional West to East flow and can kick these blocked troughs / ridges out of here, we're in for more of the same.

There is a La Nina condition contributing to this.  Since it is cold down there, it has to be warmer somewhere else. But the main factor is the Jet Stream. The cold you should be under is currently pummeling the USA.  If you are in Eastern Canada, you are probably getting warm air from the east.  But western Canada appears to be warmest, BC. You must have an indoor heated pool, though.\n\nI just posted a blog that contains a URL for Canadians to click.  This explains the El Nino Southern Oscillation fallouts for CANADA.  You are supposed to be cold.\n\nWhen you get to this short blog, just scroll down to where you see CANADA ir red:\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana\n\nWe are living in a period when all things will alter.

isnt like alaska or canada

it has maritime climate coz its an island - so not too hot or too cold. but being situated near the equator could also give i ta tropical climate

I hear that we are going to have an El Nino winter, which means in the states we will have a mild winter....hopefully this is true because I live in Michigan, and we get a lot of snow normally.  The flip side of this is ice storms, which can be worse than snow.

Any of the states in the region of the country referred to as Tornado Alley.\n\nThe site of most tornadoes a year aren't actually in Kansas, but in Texas and, in some years, Oklahoma...

I don't think there's any real compelling evidence to suggest what kind of tornado season this'll be.  The only real long-term predictor is El Nino... I believe that a La Nina pattern actually trends towards slightly more tornadoes, and that we are in a slight La Nina, but the difference is not very large.  However, right now we are locked into a trough in the western US, ridge in the eastern US pattern which suggests that at least for the next week, it should be quite active.  The number of tornadoes in Oklahoma all depends on the exact location and setup of storms, things we really have no handle over beyond at most about a week, and climatologically I don't believe there are big predictors.  So your guess is as good as mine or anyone else's at this point.  Winter does not say much about spring conditions usually.  One final note: http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead01/off01_prcp.gif shows that climatologically it's more likely to be drier the next three months than usual in Oklahoma, so you might conclude that would lead to less tornadoes (though that's not always true!).

Only here in the temperate zone. The wind blows the right way near the poles and the equator.

I don't know that there is an accurate answer to that question as there are not weather stations on all parts of the globe. Pacific Ocean, Antarctica, Himalyas etc

It's definitely not the USA- Mexico is a lot tougher than us. I think it is Japan. (Because of the amount of people and the size of their country).

Definitely over Panama. The amount of moisture the air can hold has a strong (exponential) dependence on temperature.\nTherefore, on cold weather it holds much less moisture before it condensates.
