Once again, we are affected by the Canadian wildfires, and we have a lot of smoke in the air.  The sky is a mix of clouds and smoke and it’s hard to distinguish between the two.  Yesterday was bad also, but then the rains came and cleared the air a little.  Rain began in the late afternoon, and continued most of the night.  We got 0.29 in.  Detroit has been plagued by flooding and they received another 1-2 inches yesterday.  Even Metro Airport was flooded and flights had to be cancelled.  This has not been a nice summer.  There has been too much  90 degree weather, then when it cools down, it rains.

Our 12:15 PM temperature is 71°F, the humidity is 69%, and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the NE at 2-7 mph, and the pressure is 30.05 in and rising.  The dew point is 57°F and visibility is 7 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 83°F and the overnight low was 67°F.  Record temps for July 30 are 98F (1933) and 44°F (1965).  Sunrise was 6:27 AM and sunset will be at 8:59 PM.
