Rain began around 3 AM this morning and left 0.50″ in my gauge. It was very welcome and exceeded the predictions. Light rain continues at this time but radar is showing that it won’t last much longer. Regardless, we’re thankful for what we did get. Our 8:45 AM temp is 68F (20C), the humidity is 99%, and skies are overcast with light rain. Winds are ENE at 0-4 mph, and the pressure is 29.92 in (1013.2 mb) and steady. The…
We complained when it was cold, and now we complain because it’s too hot. Why can’t the weather ever reach a happy medium? At least we got some very beneficial rain last week and the lawn has greened up again. Storms are in our forecast for tomorrow and early Thursday with the possibility of some being severe, but I’m not seeing any significant cooling following that. I guess it is what it is and we’ll remember this when we’re knee…
Yesterday was as perfect as a summer day in Michigan can be. Temperatures were comfortable and the humidity and dew points were low. There was just enough breeze to open the windows and give the AC a rest. Today should be about the same but maybe not quite as much sun. There is no rain in the forecast until tomorrow when the heat will return. Highs in the 90s are expected once again for the weekend. Our 9:30 AM temp…
After all the heat of last week, today feels really refreshing. Highs are only expected to be around 80° and that’s sounds wonderful to me. We may just be able to give the AC a rest. We have a few clouds this morning but there isn’t any rain in the forecast for today. Maybe I can get out and get some weeding done. Our 8:45 AM temp is 66°F (19°C), the humidity is 81%, and skies are partly cloudy. The…
Friday produced multiple showers and thunderstorms for our state. The rain was very badly needed following this past week of very hot, dry weather. We received 1.28″ but some areas recorded as much as 3-4 inches. Temperatures are expected to be more normal for the next few days, but then another bout of 90 degree weather is in the forecast. I am not a fan of hot weather but I’ll enjoy these next few days. Our 9:15 AM temp is…
I was very happy to see rain on the radar this morning and it is raining quite hard now as I post this. There was only 0.02″ in my gauge from yesterday even though most areas received more than that. We seemed to be on the edge of every storm that came our way. I haven’t been able to blog the past week as we were up at our campground, and the WiFi there has been terrible. The weather was…
Today will be another day of hot, dry weather, although the humidity will be on the rise. The past two days have been remarkably dry in terms of humidity, which is rare for Michigan in summer. There is no rain in the forecast until a week from today and this hot weather is expected to continue until then. We will be heading up to Indian River tomorrow and I’m not sure that it will be much cooler there. The WiFi…
Temperatures yesterday were in the mid 80s, but the humidity was very low as was the dew point, so it really wasn’t that uncomfortable. Today will be about the same, and there is no rain in the forecast until July 8. We wanted a drying out period and it looks like we will get it. I haven’t looked ahead to the weather forecast for Indian River, but it is usually is a little cooler there since the Great Lakes are…
For anyone who loves hot summer weather, they should be overjoyed right now. It looks like that will be our weather pattern for quite a while. For me, that will be a bit much as I’m not a fan of anything much over 80°. I just hope that the AC doesn’t decide to quit on us, and this is always the type of weather that it happens in. We’ll be heading north again on Thursday for the holiday weekend, and…
Yesterday was lovely and the same is expected for today. We are in a period of dry, hot weather, something that we have been waiting for since June began. We were wondering if it was ever going to happen, but alas, here it is. This upcoming week should see highs in the mid to upper 80s, and could even hit 90° in the mix. It sounds like it will be a perfect July 4th holiday. Our 9:15 AM temperature is…
