What a perfectly wonderful weekend of weather so far. Yesterday was fantastic. The first time  this season that I was able to bring out the cushions for the glider rocker to sit outside with a book and a cup of tea. A bit of a breeze ruffling along…sunshine galore. It was a day to dream about in the middle of winter. So far today, a bit more cloudy, but still a fantastic feel to the air. It’s finally offering up some summery weather to enjoy. And man, are we enjoying it! There’s a very good chance for some thunderstorms to rattle through later this afternoon, maybe tonight and tomorrow, but for now all is well.

A beautiful sky here as I’m watching the national weather map of the enormous cloud of dust drifts over the ocean from Africa heading to Puerto Rico, Bermuda and eventually the US gulf states. Fascinating. I’ll take our clear blue skies over the dusty looking overhead any day.

We’ll likely get rain late tomorrow, but today should be a dandy. We’re still so lucky her with no drastic, severe weather cropping up.

What a glorious first day of Summer here in my little backyard. Could not ask for a better one. The air is warm, crisp, the breeze is light, the sun is shining. Makes you glad all over to be able to get out and about in a day like this. Fingers crossed that, now we have Summer finally with us, the season will get up to speed and be a proper Summer. Today is a dandy start!

Currently 60 with a NE wind of 10 mph. Feels like 59 degrees. Dew Point 59, Humidity 94%, Barometer 29.64 & rising, Visibility 3 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:25 pm. 100% chance of rain today. High near 71. NE winds 10 -15 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight. low 54. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

Looks as if tomorrow might be our only day for goodness knows how long without rain. Really. A day without rain. I guess at this point I’ll believe it when I see it. Right now it’s raining and it’s chilly. Not happy about the way this month of June is going…and it’s going fast. We’re past mid-way and it still hasn’t turned into a proper month of June.

Currently 70 with an average wind from the N of 5 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 59, Humidity 68%, Barometer 29.79 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:25 pm. Overcast with a chance of rain showers. High 75. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

Yesterday we did see some sunshine among the clouds. Not so much today. In fact, none. It appears as if Friday might be a day without rain. The only one coming up. To say the gloomy days are getting to be a bit tiresome would be an understatement.

Currently 67 with an average wind from the ESE of 1 mph. Feels like 67 degrees. Dew Point 60, Humidity 76%, Barometer 29.96 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:24 pm. Mostly cloudy to partly cloudy, high 77. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

My son has a lovely, inviting pool…but so far there hasn’t been a single day where it’s warm enough to be interested in swimming. This is such an unusual summer so far. And that’s not such a good thing. Where is the warmth? And the rain a few days, one day clear, rain a few more days pattern continues. Today we have a clear one. Not warm, but not raining either. That seems to be the best we can do.

Currently 57 with an average wind from the ENE wind of 8 mph. Feels like 55 degrees. Dew Point 52, Humidity 82%, Barometer 30.01 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03am, Sunset 9:24pm.  Cloudy today with a high of 72. E winds 5-10 mph.

Cloudy overnight, low 58. Light and variable winds.

Heard this morning there were something like 450 storms reported yesterday. That’s crazy. They were all to the south of us through states like Indiana and Ohio. Storms, severe storms, tornadoes…it just doesn’t seem to want to quit. We really are lucky in that we have had nothing like that in SW Michigan. They’re still facing more possibilities today and we remain only dealing with cool temperatures and chilly rains. We might not like that, but I know we’d like those storms even less.

The Cottonwood trees are generously sharing seeds with everyone right now. It’s looking like snow alongside driveways and streets. The air continues to look like batches of snowflakes floating by the windows. Won’t last long and soon there will be yet another round of some other tree throwing out hope for future life. Those with allergies aren’t all that thrilled with it all, but most simply put up with it as an annual assault on the senses by Mother Nature, doing her thing.

Currently 60 with an average wind from the ENE of 11 mph. Feels like 58 degrees. Dew Point 50, Humidity 68%, Barometer 29.85 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:24 pm. Generally cloudy with a slight chance of rain showers. High 67. E winds 10 -15 mph.

Cloudy overnight. Low 55. ENE winds 5 – 10 mph.

The sun is trying hard to break through every so often from the overcast sky, even succeeding for a minute or two. Mostly the clouds are winning, even tossing in a few light, stray raindrops to boast of its success. So I suspect the few rays of sun that manage to beat their way through will be appreciated all the more for the effort.

Currently 66 with an average wind from the SW of 11 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 56, Humidity 72%, Barometer 29.81, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:23 pm. Overcast with the possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm. High 69. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy overnight with a slight chance of rain. Low 57. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

Well, mid June and we’re still not warming up to where we would like to be. Remaining damp and cool. Not the early Summer we would like to be having.

I’ll tell you, if you haven’t seen the site: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-94.81,49.51,324  you really should go there and check out the air currents swirling around this planet of ours. It’s utterly fascinating! It’s one of the sites I check on every morning.

Currently 60 with an average wind from the SW of 8 mph. Feels like 59 degrees. Dew Point 45, Humidity 59%, Barometer 30.01 & rising, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:23 pm. Partly sunny morning with increasing afternoon clouds. High 75. SW winds 15 -25.

Partly cloudy becoming cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low 40. SW winds 15 – 25 mph.

Still rather chilly out there this morning, but it’s dry. Sounds like it won’t be by tomorrow morning but alas…all we can do is enjoy this one. Fact is, the entire weekend sounds like a washout but there’s always hope that won’t happen.

On another note, I turned my heat on again last night. Seriously, this Spring and Summer (Okay, I know it doesn’t officially start yet but everyone knows Summer is June, July and August) has been chilly and wet. I can’t ever remember turning my heat on this late in the season, but on the other hand, I detest being cold, so all I can do is be thankful I can eliminate that discomfort. One day at a time, I guess.
