A Beautiful Sunday In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Sunday In Mid Michigan

Skies are clear but don’t look very blue due to smoke from the wildfires in Canada.  Our temperatures are very comfortable and winds are light, so overall, it’s a beautiful day.  I’m still working on my flower beds and am happy that my perennials have all made it through the winter.  There is no rain in the forecast for this week so I’m glad that we got what we did on Thursday. Our 2:15 pm temperature is 75°F (24°C), the…

Chilly After The Rain – Mid Michigan

Chilly After The Rain – Mid Michigan

We were lucky enough to get 0.34″ of rain yesterday which was badly needed.  Today is very chilly and the forecast is calling for a chance for more rain, but it hasn’t happened yet.  If we get anymore, I don’t think it will be much.  It’s really too cold to go out and do anything, at least for me.  It does seem a little brighter now but still no sign of the sun.  It is a bit windy which makes…

A Little Rain This Afternoon – Mid Michigan

A Little Rain This Afternoon – Mid Michigan

We had mostly cloudy skies this morning, but now light rain has moved in.  It isn’t much more than sprinkles, but I wish we’d get more.  It has been so dry and our road is very dusty.  The rain is expected to end by tonight and with it came cooler temperatures once again.  It seems to be having a very hard time warming up this year. Our 5 PM temperature is 62°F (17°C),  the humidity is 87% and winds are…

Just A Nice May Day In Mid Michigan

Just A Nice May Day In Mid Michigan

We have clear skies this afternoon, but smoke from the Canada wildfire give the appearance of a light cloud cover.  It isn’t hampering the sunlight much so it’s okay.  Winds aren’t as strong today and they were yesterday and our high should be about ten degrees warmer.  Yesterday looked pleasant enough until you stepped out the door into the wind.   Leaves on the trees are pretty much out all the way except for a few.  My perennial flowers seems to…

A big Cool-Down For Mid Michigan

A big Cool-Down For Mid Michigan

Today has been sunny, but our high barely made it to  60F,  and with a steady wind from the northeast, it hasn’t been very pleasant to be outdoors.  Tomorrow should be warmer and there is still no mention of rain until the weekend.  Our sky has a hazy look with smoke from wildfires in Canada.  We are being warned to avoid unnecessary burning because of very dry conditions.  The humidity and dew points have been very low for this time…

Pleasant Weather For Mid Michigan

Pleasant Weather For Mid Michigan

Our skies are mostly cloudy with filtered sun, but temperatures are very comfortable.  There is no rain expected until Friday and we do have some wind today.  Other than that, I can’t really say much more about today’s weather.  It was chilly overnight and I did have to turn the furnace on for a while this morning to get the chill out of the air.  I did some gardening yesterday and still have a little more to do.  I think…

Sunny And Warm – Mid Michigan

Sunny And Warm – Mid Michigan

Our temperatures are back to where they should be although it was really cold this morning.  We didn’t have any frost but it felt like there could have been.  Temps should make it into the mid 70s today and mostly sunny all day.  It’s a bit breezy but that’s okay. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 31%. and winds are from the SSE at 3-6 mph.  The UV index is very high at 9 and the…

A Cloudy And Cool Mother’s Day In Mid Michigan

A Cloudy And Cool Mother’s Day In Mid Michigan

We have lost our warm temperatures today, and with the wind, it feels even colder.  We did get a little rain yesterday, only 0.05″.  We could use more but it doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon.  This will be our coldest day, then temperatures should bounce back into the 70s tomorrow.  At least the temps are holding pretty close to where they should be. Our 2:15 PM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 30% and winds are…

A Little Rain Expected For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

A Little Rain Expected For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

We have cloudy skies and rain is showing up on radar in our area.  We could see some sprinkles today but we aren’t expecting any heavy rain.  It is getting quite dry which is good for the farmers, and they have been very busy this week.  There has been a lot of farm equipment traffic down our road lately.  I don’t expect to see much sun today. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 67°F (19°C), the humidity is 64%, and skies…

Not Much Sun Today, But Warm Temps – Mid Michigan

Not Much Sun Today, But Warm Temps – Mid Michigan

This really feels like a summer day with temps in the low 80s.  We don’t have much sun but it’s nice anyway.  The wind is almost nonexistent.  I wish there was more breeze.  My oriole has been hanging around and I saw my first humming bird today.   I put more screens on the windows and washed a few windows.  Now I’m going to sit outdoors and relax the remainder of the day.  There is no rain expected anytime soon. Our…
