Our heat wave continues but there is some relief in sight by this weekend. Usually we don’t like cold fronts, but they are very welcome this time of year. As two hurricanes threaten the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, it appears right now that Michigan won’t feel the effects of either. Some areas of the state could certainly use the rain but we have that possibility tomorrow. It’s been over a week since our last rainfall, and with this…
We have another hot day with highs expected near 90°. We have yard work to do and it’s just too hot. Our local meteorologist mentioned a chance for some pop-up showers or thunderstorms today, but just a slight chance at that. It’s been well over a week since we got any rain and things are getting very dry. Up at our campground, they’ve been getting some rain almost everyday. I wish that it would come further south. Our 11:30 AM…
After two wonderful, comfortable days, we are back into the hot, muggy weather of August. We haven’t had a good rain for a week now and things are really getting dry. The lawn has ceased growing which isn’t a bad thing, and it is still quite green. There is no rain in our forecast anytime soon and no cooler temperatures either. This is great beach weather. Unfortunately, I’m not a beach bunny. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 84°F (29°C), the…
This has been a summer of blistering heat, more so than summers past. I, personally don’t like it. But these past few days have been wonderful with highs only in the 70s. It will be a bit warmer today, then back into the upper 80s after that. This summer has flown by so fast and I can’t believe that we’re heading into the end of August already. The school situation is confusing this year, with some schools opening and others…
Our time at the campground was nice but it was too hot for me at the start. The last two days were more comfortable however. Here at home, our Wednesday is very cool for mid August but I’m loving it. The feel of autumn is in the air and I’m ready for it. This 90° weather just isn’t for me. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 56%, and skies are mostly clear. The pressure is 30.05…
We’ll be heading up to our campground in a little while and I will probably not be heard from again until I get back. Not sure if the WiFi will be working but it’s very unreliable when it does work. It will be mostly sunny and hot, both here and Indian River, but it looks like cooler weather will be setting in the beginning of next week. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 78% and winds…
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…
