Another Hot Day In Mid Michigan

Another Hot Day In Mid Michigan

Spending any time outdoors today is out of the question, unless you are at the beach or a water park.  It never did cool down much overnight and the AC was on all night.  We can expect this weather to last for a few more days, then next week, temperatures should be closer to normal once again.  I can’t wait. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 86°F (30°C), the humidity is 38%, and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the…

Just Plain Hot – Mid Michigan

Just Plain Hot – Mid Michigan

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I’m not a fan of hot weather.  When the temperature gets in the low 80s, that’s plenty warm enough for me.  Fortunately, our house stays cool well into the afternoon, even when the temp reaches  90 degrees, as long as we don’t open any windows.  Such is the case today.  Sometimes we just turn the AC  on to cool the house before we go to bed at night.  The humidity is very low…

Memorial Day In Mid Michigan

Memorial Day In Mid Michigan

There isn’t much to be said about the weather today except that it is hot and dry.  No real changes from the past week.  I’ll let it go at that. Our 6PM temperature is 85°F, the humidity is 24%, and skies are clear.  The dew point is 38°F and winds are from the NE at 1-5 mph.  The pressure is 29.88 in and falling and visibility is 19 miles.  The UV Index is low at 2.  Yesterday’s high was 85°F…

More Dry, Hot Weather For Mid Michigan

More Dry, Hot Weather For Mid Michigan

There is still no mention of rain in our extended forecast, and everything is getting very dry.  The humidity and dew points continue to be very low and that doesn’t help.  This has been great weather for the farmers to get the planting done, but now they desperately need rain.  We seem to have a bubble over us preventing any of the precipitation in the west to come our way.  I haven’t planted any of my annual flowers yet and…

Warm And Dry For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

Warm And Dry For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

Today will really feel like summer.  It is great for those going camping this weekend.  The weather couldn’t be more perfect for them.  Although the lakes haven’t had a chance to warm up  yet, I’m sure there will be those who brave the chill and take a dip anyway.  We have some hot weather heading our way next week and no mention of rain.  I’m hoping that this isn’t a sign of things to come this summer.  This is much…

A Very Pleasant Day In Mid Michigan

A Very Pleasant Day In Mid Michigan

There has been no change in our weather for the past week except that each day has been getting a little warmer.  Next week will be actually hot and that’s a great way to begin the month of June.  Everyone is tired of the roller coaster temperatures and are ready for some real summer weather.  May has been very dry and we do need some rain.  I’m not sure when that will happen though.  The farmers have all their planting…

Another Cool, Sunny Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cool, Sunny Day In Mid Michigan

Today is pretty much a replica of yesterday  It will continue to be cooler than what it should be and no rain expected.  It isn’t quite as windy, but still enough breeze to make it feel cooler than what it is.  At least we are expecting a substantial warmup for the holiday weekend, and I’m sure that makes a lot of people happy. Our 1 PM temperature is 59°F (15°C), the humidity is 39%, and winds are from the NE…

Much Cooler But Sunny – Mid Michigan

Much Cooler But Sunny – Mid Michigan

After an almost perfect day yesterday, today leaves a lot to be desired.  Temperatures aren’t bad but the wind undoes all the good in the day.  I’m even hearing mention of frost tonight, not that it would affect me.  I don’t have anything planted yet.  I’m seeing a frost warning for the northern portions of the state, but no advisories or warning has been issued for us yet.  Today and tomorrow will be cooler than normal, but then it warms…

Wonderful Weather For Mid Michigan

Wonderful Weather For Mid Michigan

We continue to see grey skies with a hint of blue showing through from the wildfires in western Canada.  It hasn’t really hampered the sun much, but we aren’t seeing blue skies either.  Other than that, we can’t complain.  We should see highs in the low 80s this afternoon and light winds.  So it’s perfect for just getting outdoors and enjoying it.  We are expecting some cooler temps over the next few days, but it will not last long.  It…

Warm And Cloudy For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

Warm And Cloudy For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

We continue to have a lot of Canadian wildfire smoke overhead, so the sky appears to have more overcast than it actually does.  Winds are very light and temps are in the mid 70s.  The humidity is very low and it’s just a nice day to open the windows and air out the house.  No rain is expected anytime soon and temperatures are expected to be very warm for the holiday weekend.  Life is good. Our 5 PM temperature is…
