Our temperatures are feeling wonderful after that long stretch of 90 degree days. And I don’t see any 90 degree days coming up in the near future. Building back up into the 80s, but hey…that’s what we can expect. It’s summer. It’s just so comfortable having summer weather we can enjoy without being sealed up in an A/C house. Everybody out and enjoy the day! Just exactly what we all plan to do.

Had a marvelous rain yesterday around 3:00 in the afternoon. Better than an hour of good steady rain, plenty of thunder. Then again about 4:00 this morning it rained again. We were in such need of moisture that as much as we got, most soaked right in. Hoping for more today. And although it is humid, the temperature dropped considerably, at least for the time being. Will rise back up next week, but I’m not seeing any 90 degree days in the coming week. That’s a very good thing. And in the meantime, not so dry and not so hot.

Currently 85 with an average wind from the SE of 2 mph. Feels like 90 degrees. Dew Point 71, Barometer 29.96, Humidity 63%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:12 am, Sunset 9:23 pm.

60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Low in the lower 70s. Light winds.

We have a couple of days holding out an opportunity for some rain. Nobody is holding their breath, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed. We very much need the rain. Everything is drying and browning up.

There is now a small chance of some rain over the next three days. Not a great chance, but some. We could most certainly use it. So hope is high. In addition, the temperature might dip down as low as 80 by Sunday. Of course, it appears to be heading right back up, but a little relief would certainly be welcome.

Currently 87 with an average wind from the S of 2 mph. Feels like 90 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 30.02 & falling, Humidity 52%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:10 am, Sunset 9:24 pm.

Peering ahead, it does look as if – for the moment, anyway – there is a 50% chance of rain coming in around Friday, dropping out temperatures down into the low 80s. At least for awhile. Since this is only Tuesday, there is a wide margin for error there and we all know how quickly the forecasts can be changed by various and sundry reasons. We are still nestled under that extreme heat dome and I know, since this is only 10:30 in the morning with the temperature already advancing toward 90, this is not the Michigan weather we’re used to. Fingers crossed for that rain to actually make it to us by week’s end. We shall see.

Currently 81 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 83 degrees. Dew Point 67, Barometer 30.05, Humidity 62%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:10 am, Sunset 9:24 pm.

Our steaming Summer weather continues. Un-Michigan. Very hot. If we’re lucky we might see a very small chance for some rain about mid-week, and perhaps some days in the 80s. Or…maybe not. All we know for sure is that our weather is continuing to be unusually warm.

Currently 88 with an average wind from the ENE of 3 mph. Feels like 88 degrees. Dew Point 62, Barometer 30.03 & rising, Humidity 41%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:09 am, Sunset 9:24 pm.

Can not get over this long stretch of 90 degree days in Michigan. This is so far out of the norm as to be astonishing. And there really doesn’t look to be an end in sight. Most unusual summer for this state. The ‘cold front’ that was supposed to have given us a day or two of half-way relief seems to have died a premature death. Oh, yeah…we could dip down into the upper 80s for a few days, but that isn’t what you’d call relief under any circumstances. I think for many unhappy reasons this will be a summer we won’t soon forget and this weather is going to help make it even more unforgettable.

Currently 76 with an average wind from the NE of 4 mph. Feels like 76 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 30.06, Humidity 76%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:08 am, Sunset 9:25 pm.

Sunny with a high around 90. Light winds.

Clear overnight skies, Low in the mid 60s. Light winds.

As late as yesterday we were supposed to be having a cool front coming in about next Wednesday or Thursday. It was intended to let the temperature dip a bit for a day or two, but it was likely going to bound right back. Now, it does not seem  there will be much of a dip, just a flat out steady 90 degree stretch. This is really unusual for Michigan. In the past we’ve maybe had one or two 90 degree days, but then we’d fall way down, cool off completely. Eventually the temperature would climb again. This summer the 90s set in and seem determined to stay around forever. Going to hate getting my electric bill next month. Never had much of one in the summer before. But then I’ve never had to run my A/C this much before. Not ever.

Currently 78 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 78 degrees. Dew Point 62, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 58%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:08 am, Sunset 9:25 pm

Mostly clear with a 20% chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the evening. Low in the upper 60s. Light winds.

Last night at 8:00 it was still 88 degrees. This is Michigan. This is not the norm. I don’t really recall seeing such a long stretch of 90 degree days in a row. This is quite interesting but stifling outside. Again I can say thank goodness for A/C.

Currently 83 with an average wind from the WNW of 3 mph. Feels like 84. Dew Point 64, Barometer 30.09 & falling, Humidity 54%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:07 am, Sunset 9:25 pm.

Mostly clear with a low in the upper 60s. Light winds with gusts to around 20 in the evening.

Well, it is getting a tad warm around here. No relief in sight far as I can see, so things are simply going to continue to shrivel up, dry up and turn brown. Tree leaves aren’t looking all that healthy right now. Now if we can believe it, if we can hold in here for another week, there does seem to be a chance of some rain moving in. No change in temperatures, those seem to be inclined to stay high. This is one unusual summer so far here in Michigan. Got to wonder, when it’s all finished, how many records for high temperatures we’ll be finding racked up.
