Another Nice Summer Day – Mid Michigan

Another Nice Summer Day – Mid Michigan

We had a popup thundershower yesterday evening which dropped 0.16″ of rain on us.  It was just a small cell which formed just to our northwest, and it moved right over us.  It didn’t last very long, and fell apart as quickly as it formed.  It was just enough to get everything wet.  The rest of yesterday was nice.  Temperatures were comfortable and no mosquitoes. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 79°F (26°C), the humidity is 61% and skies are clear. …

A Very Pleasant Day In Mid Michigan

A Very Pleasant Day In Mid Michigan

Today is sunny and temperatures and humidity are at a comfortable level.  We couldn’t ask for anything better.  The forecast is saying that we could see some rain this afternoon but that remains to be seen.  We certainly don’t need anymore at this time. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 78°F (26°C), the humidity is a comfortable 58%, and skies are mostly clear.  Breezes are light at 4-9 mph from the WNW, and the dew point is 58°F (14°C).  The pressure…

Damp And Chilly In Mid Michigan

Damp And Chilly In Mid Michigan

We had rain all day Sunday.  It ranged from light sprinkles to heavy downpours.  We received a total of 1.51″ by the time it ended.  I’m sure the mosquitoes are happy.  Today has been a grey, damp day although no rain so far.  Our highs never made it out of the low 60s yesterday and today won’t be very warm either.  Tomorrow should bring back normal temps. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 82% and skies…

A Very Wet Sunday in Mid Michigan

A Very Wet Sunday in Mid Michigan

It started raining early this morning and has continued since then, with a few breaks.  There was 0.14 in in my gauge at 8:30 and I’m not sure how much more has fallen since then.  Radar shows that it may have a ways to go before it ends.  At least I won’t have to water anything for a few days. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 94%, and skies are overcast with moderate rain.  The pressure…

More Fine Weather For Mid Michigan

More Fine Weather For Mid Michigan

I almost hate bragging about our great weather when so much of the country is melting and dehydrating.  But I guess when you choose to live in parts of the country that have no winter weather, you have to accept the good with the bad.  As for me, I’ll gladly put up with a little snow to not deal with the summer extremes.  Also, I love the season changes.  Autumn is one of my favorites.  Right now, we have a…

A Nice Summer Day – Mid Michigan

A Nice Summer Day – Mid Michigan

As summer days go, it doesn’t get much nicer than what we have today.  Temperatures are comfortably warm and the humidity is also at a comfortable level.  You really can’t beat Michigan in the summer in terms of weather.  That’s why I’ll never live anywhere else. Our 3 PM temperature is 79°F, the humidity is 51%, and winds are from the NW at 2-8 mph.  The dew point is 57°F and the pressure is 29.92 in and steady.  Skies are…

Hot And Humid Today – Mid Michigan

Hot And Humid Today – Mid Michigan

  Today should be a fine day if you like “hot”.  Highs could reach near the 90 degree mark and that’s a little too warm for me.  There isn’t much breeze either, so very uncomfortable to those with no AC.  There is a possibility for some rain tonight but slight.  My husband got out early to mow the lawn before it got too hot.  Good idea.  With all the rain that we’ve been getting lately, it grows fast. Our 1:45…

A Few Morning Showers For Our Wednesday – Mid Michigan

A Few Morning Showers For Our Wednesday – Mid Michigan

Although we just had a slight chance of rain, one small cell managed to find us and we had a quick shower.  We only received 0.03″ from it, barely enough to matter, but enough to encourage the mosquitoes to hang around.  It should clear up by afternoon and temperatures will be on the rise.  Yesterday was another smoky day for us but today seems a bit better.  At least we can see the clouds and sun more clearly. Our 10:45…

Another Smoke Day In Mid Michigan

Another Smoke Day In Mid Michigan

Our sky has appeared cloudy all day, but yet the sun was shining although filtered.   We could barely see blue through the smoke filled sky, so it was difficult to tell if it was clouds or smoke.  I guess we can expect this to happen for the remaining summer and even autumn months.  I don’t think those Canadian fires will be put out until they get snow.  Hopefully, they’ll get a lot of it.  Other than that, it has been…
