Today will be almost the same as the past week. There is no mention of any rain until possibly next Sunday night. So our summer weather will continue a bit longer. Any complaints? I don’t think so. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 66°F, the humidity is 78%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the E at 1-3 mph, and the pressure is 29.97 in and steady. The dew point is 58°F and visibility is 10 miles. Yesterday’s high was…
We have had strong high pressure over us now for over a week, and it doesn’t show any signs of leaving anytime soon. I’m not seeing any rain in the forecast well into next weekend. I’m having to water my flowers for the first time this summer. How unusual that is. Our 1PM temperature is 81°F (27°C), the humidity is 49%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the E at 1- 5 mph, and the pressure is 30.04 in…
This weather seems to be redundant with no changes from day to day. We still have no rain, not much wind, and very warm temperatures. There is a bit of color now in the woods, and we see a little more each day. Many of the poplars have dropped half their leaves, and even the maples are starting to shed. I think it would happen more quickly if the weather was cooler. But we better enjoy it while it lasts….
We have another day just like the past week. No rain, clear skies, light breezes, and plenty of bugs. I think we have more bugs now than we’ve had all summer. I guess they like the dry, warm weather. I’m noticing the bird traffic at my feeding station isn’t as busy as it has been. I have mostly wood peckers and the humming birds are still coming around. I haven’t seen an oriole in about two weeks, and almost no…
Our nice weather continues and still no mention of rain anytime soon. This is the longest period that we have had without rain all summer. We have some low spots in our yard that never seem to dry out, so maybe this will do it. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 75°F (24°C), the humidity is 70%, and winds are from the NE at 1-5 mph. The pressure is 30.04 in (1017.3 mb) and steady, and the dew point is 62°F…
Well, it looks like ex-Hurricane Francine will be missing us entirely and I’m not complaining about that. It has now been downgraded to a tropical storm, but not without leaving it’s mark on Louisiana and Mississippi. Our national weather map shows that is isn’t quite finished yet, with tornadoes very possible in Mississippi and Alabama today. There is also severe weather possible in the northwest, but all is good here in Michigan. Summer continues to be hanging on here. I’m…
We have another beautiful day to look forward to. Last night was quite mild and today should make it into the low to mid 80s for our high temperature. It just doesn’t get any better than this. I love autumn in Michigan. Our 9:15 AM temp is 62°F, the humidity is 95%, and winds are calm. The pressure is 30.00 in and rising, and the dew point is 59°F. Visibility is 8 miles. Yesterday’s high was 80°F, and the overnight…
Our day began with chilly temperatures and dense fog. Visibility was less than half a mile until about 10 AM. Temps began to rise as the sun burned off the fog and now our afternoon is very pleasant. We aren’t expecting any rain until Sunday night, and that’s when Hurricane Francine may reach us. That’s still uncertain and she may move more to the east before reaching us. We could use an extended dry spell. Our 4:30 PM temperature is…
We continue to have summertime weather in between the cold fronts that descend on us every week. But for September, I’m not complaining. Our weather has been beautiful so far this autumn. I’m sure that the boaters appreciate it, and are hoping for another month or so for this to continue. There is a slight chance for some rain mentioned in the forecast, but I don’t think it will happen. Our 12 noon temperature is 72°F (22°C), the humidity is…
Although today will be warmer than yesterday, temps will still be much below where they should be. But we have another bout of very warm air knocking on our door, so summer isn’t over just yet. This is my favorite time of year, and even though we see our hours of daylight quickly diminishing, the bugs are too. There is still plenty of daylight for outdoor activities, so it’s good. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is…
