Sudden appearance of water spouts?

Seems to have noticed an onslaught of water spouts this year. I'm an avid newspaper reader for quite some time and I have never ever read about water spouts appearing around here.

According to the weather guys, its quite common and can be seen once or twice a year around here. However, within a span of few weeks, there are already 4 sightings (I've recalled no sightings), and the water spouts are quite huge, and quite near land.

Is this connected to global warming? I suspect it is... The weather is getting more erratic. It's weird but I think I'm the only one among my friends who thinks that the "summer" here has gotten much shorter. This year to me seems to be a bit more wet than usual. Everyone seems to be saying it's hotter. Yes it is... But I find that the "summer" periods have become much shorter. It's raining more. KL has already flooded.

With this kind of climate changes, the US, China and India are still in denial. Maybe a violent thunderstorm/typhoon/hurricane should hit their capitals, causing severe damage before they are finally awaken to the damage they have caused.
