Our sky has appeared cloudy all day, but yet the sun was shining although filtered. We could barely see blue through the smoke filled sky, so it was difficult to tell if it was clouds or smoke. I guess we can expect this to happen for the remaining summer and even autumn months. I don’t think those Canadian fires will be put out until they get snow. Hopefully, they’ll get a lot of it. Other than that, it has been…
Today has been dry and temperatures are comfortable with a light breeze. There were a few showers that sprung up yesterday but none of them affected us. Skies look like a few more could spring up today but no sign of any rain so far. We have had a variety of clouds mixed with a little sun, and it is a nice day here in Mid Michigan. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 50%, and skies are…
Today we are expecting highs to only reach the upper 70s and that’s fine with me. Yesterday wasn’t too bad but quite humid. Today, the humidity is much lower and it feels more comfortable. It’s just a beautiful summer day. We aren’t expecting any rain anytime soon, and we’re happy with what we have. How quickly our drought conditions have waned. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 76°F (24°C), the humidity is 42% and skies are clear. Winds are from the…
Yesterday was hot and humid, and storms developed late in the day. We didn’t have anything severe, but there was a lot of thunder. Most of it hit overnight and I slept through it, but my husband said that it woke him up. There was 0.51 inches in my gauge this morning and light rain continued for awhile. Now the clouds are breaking up, there’s a nice breeze from the north, and I think we can give the AC a…
Today is one of the hottest that we’ve had this summer. Also the humidity is a factor which makes it worse. I feel for those who still don’t have electricity due to the storms on Wednesday. More storms are expected tonight and I’m hoping that there are no more that are damaging. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 89°F, the humidity is 66% and the dew point is 67°F. The pressure is 29.92 in and steady and visibility is 12 miles. …
Yesterday was quite active on the weather scene. Thunderstorms moved in during the early afternoon and continued for about 5 hours. There were periods of severe watches and warnings, but we had none of that here in my area. The Detroit area, however, is a mess. My son lives in Northville and works in Redford. Neither has power this morning. News coverage showed massive uprooted trees in various areas. As for us, we just had heavy rain. Most came with…
Today will be one of those days when we wonder what will happen. Our area is in the enhanced severe weather zone, but until the storms come, our air is still unhealthy from the wildfire smoke. The local forecasters are pretty certain that today will be rough, weather-wise, and that doesn’t sound good. To make matters worse, highs will reach near 90°F (32°C). Our AC is now working and I’m thankful for that. Storms are supposed to roll in by…
Once again our clear, blue sky looks more grey than blue. The wildfire smoke from Canada is moving over us again, causing breathing problems for those with asthma and allergies. Thankfully, no one in my family has either. Right now, it doesn’t seem too bad but it always seems to get worse later in the day. They issued our advisory yesterday, but I haven’t heard any today. Maybe it won’t be as bad as they thought. There were some thunderstorms…
Today is the beginning of a hot week. Temperatures will reach into the 90s by the week’s end. Today’s high should reach well into the 80s and we are still without AC. Hopefully, they’ll be able to fix it tomorrow. Our AC unit is very old and we may need to have a new one installed. Whichever it is, I just hope it doesn’t take too long. Multiple thunderstorms developed yesterday afternoon but they all missed us. The same is…
Although we weren’t really expecting any rain today. I’m seeing some starting to form to our north and south on radar. Scattered thunderstorms are in our forecast, so we may see a little rain today. Our AC is not working so we are keeping the house closed up to keep the hot air out. It’s doing a pretty good job. Thankfully, we have good insulation. Right now our indoor temp is 76°F, not bad considering that it’s 8°1F outdoors. I’m…
