We will be heading to northern Michigan is just a few hours. Unfortunately, it appears that we’ll be setting up camp in the rain. I’m hoping for some breaks but the radar isn’t looking too promising at this time. Here at home, we have mostly cloudy skies and no rain so far. Temps will be on the rise this week once again but the forecast for Topinabee-Indian River is showing highs mainly in the 70s. That’s perfect for me. After…
Today isn’t expected to be as cool as yesterday but it should still be quite pleasant. The humidity has decreased considerably and that makes a lot of difference. I noticed that the mosquitoes have been more plentiful over the past few days. Up until now, they haven’t been that bad which is surprising with all the rain that we’ve had. Tomorrow we head up north until the third of August. They have been having strong storms there quite regularly and…
It is a cooler morning than what we have had and it really feels great. We did get a little rain yesterday, 0.12 inches. There are showers and thunderstorms in our forecast for this afternoon, then we could see some clearing. Winds will turn to the north and bring some relief from these stifling temperatures. I’m going to try to get out for a bike ride this afternoon, but will have to see what happens with the rain. The Midwest…
This morning is very muggy and warm. Showers and thunderstorms moved across the state overnight but we received very little rain. There was just a trace in my gauge this morning at 8:30, but another shower is passing as I write this. I can’t say that we really need the rain although the ground does dry out quickly with the heat. Our highs have been in the upper 80s the past 3 days, and with the high dew points and…
Our skies have been mostly cloudy today although we have a little sun right now. Temps are slightly cooler than yesterday and rain seemed to be a possibility this morning, but it all missed us. Once again, it is just too hot to do anything outdoors and even just sitting out there is uncomfortable. The dew point is quite high and that affects the feel of things more than the humidity. At least I think so. Our 4 PM temperature…
For those wishing for hot weather, we finally got it! Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s all this week. The chance for thunderstorms looms over us for the weekend but there is no break in the heat expected until early next week. What makes it unbearable for me is that there is hardly any breeze. I have said many times that I don’t like hot temperatures. It takes all of my energy away. our 9:30…
Yesterday turned out to be a nice day after the morning rain subsided. Today looks to be another winner with no rain in the forecast. Our temperatures have cooled off to a comfortable level although highs in the upper 80s are expected by week’s end. Today will be the day to get things done outdoors while the cooler weather lasts. Our 9:30 AM temp is 69.6°F (21°C), the humidity is 61% and skies are clear. Visibility is 10 miles and…
Today started out with a little sun, but it didn’t take long for the clouds to start rolling in. I ran into a light shower on the way to church, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t pouring when I got out. When I got home, I noticed that there was 0.13″ in my gauge that wasn’t there early this morning. Now we have light fog with drizzle. I hope that this doesn’t last all day. I guess we…
We couldn’t have asked for a lovelier Saturday. The sun is bright, temps are in the mid 70s and there is a light breeze. Perfect in my book. What’s even better is that there is just a slight chance for rain later in the week and temps should remain at comfortable levels. Right now (11:30 AM EDT), our temp is 74.7°F (24°C) , the humidity is 57%, and winds are from the west at 6 mph. Our heat index is…
After plenty of rain over the past two days, today should be a bit cooler and more comfortable. Although we didn’t get any severe weather, there was flooding in some areas of the state, and we certainly don’t need anymore rain for awhile. This has been a very wet year for us although the farmers are loving it. Our temps should remain in the 70s today, so we can open the windows for a change. That will seem good Our…
