Our weather feels more like early May instead of June.  We have a few days of below average temperatures but it did bring us some rain.  More is expected this afternoon and later this week.  We’ll take all we […]

We had rain most of Sunday and we received 0.20″ and we are grateful for it.  Yes, we could use a lot more, and that could happen tomorrow.  The air seems cleaner now and most of the smoke and dust seem to h […]

Any rain is appreciated but we need a lot more than what we’ve gotten so far.  Radar is showing a lot more to come, but it only looks like light rain.  we need a good downpour.  We have about a 2-3 inch ra […]

Our skies are basically clear but still have a brownish haze visible from the Canadian wildfires.  There is satellite imagery showing that these fires are probably purposely set which is  criminal.  I hope th […]

Our air is still filled with smoke from the Canadian wildfires, mostly in the sky.  This morning was very hazy as a result but it doesn’t seem as bad now.  Once the rain comes this weekend, things should be […]

Although we still can see a lot of smoke overhead, at least it isn’t here at ground level like it was late yesterday.  The rain that is expected this weekend is supposed to clear our air and get rid of a […]

May 2023’s temperatures began mostly hovering around seasonal Normals, though two days of Maximum Temperatures remained in the 50s, with 58.6° on the 1st and the month’s lowest Max. of 55.2° on the 4 […]

I’m not sure if our overcast is caused by clouds or smoke from the Canadian wildfires.  It probably is both.  Regardless, we aren’t seeing any sun so far and our temperature is in no hurry to reach the e […]

Today is much more comfortable so I’ll try to get my flowers in the ground.  Our sky still has a lot of smoke from the wildfires to our north which makes it appear cloudier than it actually is.  The sun is m […]

Wildfires are inevitable when we have no rain for an extended period.  That’s what happened yesterday in Grayling.  Fire burned 2400 acres and the last I heard, it was 85% contained.  I-75 was closed for mo […]

No rain for almost two weeks is bad enough, but when you add in high temperatures near  90°F, that makes it worse.  There isn’t even the promise of rain for us anytime soon.  I had to go out and water my per […]

Spending any time outdoors today is out of the question, unless you are at the beach or a water park.  It never did cool down much overnight and the AC was on all night.  We can expect this weather to last f […]

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I’m not a fan of hot weather.  When the temperature gets in the low 80s, that’s plenty warm enough for me.  Fortunately, our house stays cool well into the afternoon, e […]

There isn’t much to be said about the weather today except that it is hot and dry.  No real changes from the past week.  I’ll let it go at that.

Our 6PM temperature is 85°F, the humidity is 24%, and skies ar […]

There is still no mention of rain in our extended forecast, and everything is getting very dry.  The humidity and dew points continue to be very low and that doesn’t help.  This has been great weather for t […]

Today will really feel like summer.  It is great for those going camping this weekend.  The weather couldn’t be more perfect for them.  Although the lakes haven’t had a chance to warm up  yet, I’m sure the […]

There has been no change in our weather for the past week except that each day has been getting a little warmer.  Next week will be actually hot and that’s a great way to begin the month of June.  Everyone i […]

Today is pretty much a replica of yesterday  It will continue to be cooler than what it should be and no rain expected.  It isn’t quite as windy, but still enough breeze to make it feel cooler than what it is.  At […]

After an almost perfect day yesterday, today leaves a lot to be desired.  Temperatures aren’t bad but the wind undoes all the good in the day.  I’m even hearing mention of frost tonight, not that it would affect m […]
