Yesterday was quite hot and today is about the same. It’s a bit too warm for my liking but I’ll try to enjoy this last month of summer. It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over already, and I can’t complain about the weather. It has been perfect for the garden. Everything is doing great and the squash and tomatoes are starting to come in. We’ve been getting just enough rain but not too much. This is certainly much…
Very warm weather has returned once again, and highs today could reach near 90°F this afternoon. That also brings s slight chance of storms for us, and they are already showing up on radar over Lake Michigan. At this time, it appears these this storms will remain to our north but more will probably develop later. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 75°F (24°F), the humidity is 84%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the WSW at 2-8 mph. …
I wish that our summer weather would be like this all the time. Highs in the 70s and low 80s are perfect as far as I’m concerned. The forecast is showing the heat returning next week along with a stormy period, but I’m loving the weather that we’re having right now. Our 9:30 temperature is 65°F (18°C), the humidity is 70%, and skies are clear. Winds are calm and the dew point is 60°F (16°C). The pressure is 30.14 in…
Today may be the last of our comfortable days before the heat returns once again. This summer has gone so fast and it’s hard to believe that fall is just a month away. We better enjoy it while it lasts although I’m seeing where our autumn is supposed to be quite warm. I don’t put much stock in these long term predictions but I hope this one is right. Autumn is my favorite season in spite of what comes after…
Tuesday was mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers. We only got 0.08″ and the showers were wide spread and brief. The biggest factor yesterday was the temperatures. We didn’t even make it to 70° which is unusual for August in Michigan. It should be quite a bit warmer today and highs will be back in the mid 80s by the weekend. We were graced with this beautiful rainbow late in the day after the last shower. That’s always a joy…
This has been a very wet few days for us. We received about an inch and a half over the last 24 hours and that isn’t including what we got on Saturday night. There is certainly no shortage of water for my area even though some areas of the state are claiming near drought conditions. Today will be much cooler with highs only in the low 70s. I love it. Our 10:15 AM temp is 61°F (16°C), the humidity is…
The rain began late last night and has continued since then. There was 0.87″ at 8 AM in my gauge, and since then, we have received an additional 0.35″. We may hit 2 inches yet by the time it’s done. Radar is showing the end approaching us and I hope it happens soon. My dog has refused to go out for her morning “business”, so she’s past due. A flash flood watch remains in effect until 2 PM. Our 10:30…
I haven’t posted a blog for over a week because I have had no WiFi available. The campground internet was hit by lightning in the storm 2 weeks ago, and it hasn’t been repaired yet. I hope this doesn’t last the rest of the summer. Regardless, our weather over the past week was wonderful. Last weekend was hot, but the last three days there were perfect. If seemed good to turn the AC off and open the windows. Our campground…
