Once again we are advised not to spend much time outdoors due to the wildfire smoke from Canada. I checked out a map yesterday, showing all current wildfires, and it looks like half of Manitoba is on fire. My picture shows the Mackinaw Bridge yesterday through the smoke. As for us, it is still quite hazy and our clear sky looks more grey than blue. We have another round of hot, sticky weather for the week ahead, so this makes…
We have clear skies but they are grey because of the smoke. No one in my family has any severe respiratory problems but still not good to breathe the smoke. Now that we have cooler temperatures, it would be nice to spend some time outdoors but who knows when that will happen. I can’t believe that it is August already. It hasn’t been a very good summer as far as weather goes. I hope that autumn is better Our 2:15…
After an almost clear day on Friday, today we have the wildfire smoke once again. The sun is shining but the sky is grey. Winds are light and the humidity is quite comfortable. There is no rain in the forecast and an air quality alert is in effect once again. Most of the smoke is in the sky at this time but is expected to increase here at ground level as the day goes on. Our 12:30 PM temperature is…
Today is a fine day with not as much smoke, and nice, cool temperatures. The Air Quality Index is moderate at 69. That’s a big improvement from the past few days. Temps will remain in the 70s today and I’m loving it. I wish it wold stay this way the rest of the summer Unfortunately, there is more heat heading this way for next weekend. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 48%. Skies are partly cloudy. Winds…
Once again, we are affected by the Canadian wildfires, and we have a lot of smoke in the air. The sky is a mix of clouds and smoke and it’s hard to distinguish between the two. Yesterday was bad also, but then the rains came and cleared the air a little. Rain began in the late afternoon, and continued most of the night. We got 0.29 in. Detroit has been plagued by flooding and they received another 1-2 inches yesterday. …
We have one more day of this unrelenting heat, then we’ll have a period of below average temps for a chance. I’ll be loving it. This summer has been too hot and wet to even enjoy being outdoors. The mosquitoes are terrible and I can’t wait for this cooler weather to arrive. I’m hoping that these 90s are done for the year. Our 1PM temperature is 90°F, the humidity is 60% and the pressure is 29.98 in and falling,. The…
Our Saturday was cloudy and hot. It looked like rain most of the day but all we got as a few sprinkles early. Today began with dense fog, but now the sky is clear. I’m not seeing any rain in the forecast for this week at all, but we know how that can change. We need a prolonged dry spell. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 84°F, the humidity is 66% and winds are from the SW at 2-4 mph. The…
Yesterday brought very hot temperatures and scattered storms and all totally missed us. We did get a quick passing shower which dropped 0.09″ of rain in the late afternoon. Today is a little cooler but still very humid. We should get some relief from the heat tomorrow Our 2:45 PM temperature is 82°F, the humidity is 73%, and skies are mostly cloudy. Winds are from the north at 0-3 mph, and the pressure is 30.00 in and rising. The dew…
We will see temperatures in the 90s today, with the heat index over 100F This is not my kind of weather. It was very warm overnight and my AC ran all night which it usually doesn’t do. We could see some thunderstorms later today and overnight. Those would be welcome if it would cool down a little. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 90°F, the humidity is 60%, and winds are from the SW at 5-12 mph. Skies are mostly clear. …
We have another round of very hot weather, and it is expected to last for quite a while. We can expect heat indexes into the triple digits, so I don’t think we’ll be spending much time outdoors. The past two days were beautiful and we were able to give the AC a rest. I just hope that it doesn’t decide to quit working over the next week or so. Our 10 AM temperature is 74°F, the humidity is 62%, and…
