A Temporary Reprieve From The Heat – Mid Michigan

A Temporary Reprieve From The Heat – Mid Michigan

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…

A Welcome Cool-Down For Mid Michigan

A Welcome Cool-Down For Mid Michigan

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…

Up To Northern Michigan Again

Up To Northern Michigan Again

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…

A Very Warm, Sunny Day In Mid Michigan

A Very Warm, Sunny Day In Mid Michigan

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…

The Heat Is Up With A Chance Of Storms – Mid Michigan

The Heat Is Up With A Chance Of Storms – Mid Michigan

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 Love This Cool Weather – Mid Michigan

I Love This Cool Weather – Mid Michigan

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…

Warming Up In Mid Michigan

Warming Up In Mid Michigan

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…

Much Cooler Temperature For Mid Michigan

Much Cooler Temperature For Mid Michigan

Tuesday was mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers.  We only got 0.08″ and the showers were wide spread and brief.  The biggest factor yesterday was the temperatures.  We didn’t even make it to 70° which is unusual for August in Michigan.  It should be quite a bit warmer today and highs will be back in the mid 80s by the weekend.  We were graced with this beautiful rainbow late in the day after the last shower.  That’s always a joy…

More Rain For Mid Michigan

More Rain For Mid Michigan

This has been a very wet few days for us.  We received about an inch and a half over the last 24 hours and that isn’t including what we got on Saturday night.  There is certainly no shortage of water for my area even though some areas of the state are claiming near drought conditions.  Today will be much cooler with highs only in the low 70s.  I love it. Our 10:15 AM temp is 61°F (16°C), the humidity is…

A Very Wet Sunday Morning For Mid Michigan

A Very Wet Sunday Morning For Mid Michigan

The rain began late last night and has continued since then.  There was 0.87″ at 8 AM in my gauge, and since then, we have received an additional 0.35″.  We may hit 2 inches yet by the time it’s done.  Radar is showing the end approaching us and I hope it happens soon.  My dog has refused to go out for her morning “business”, so she’s past due.  A flash flood watch remains in effect until 2 PM. Our 10:30…
