There was a trace of precip in my gauge this morning but I’m certain that it was from condensation, not rain.  These past few days have been very uncomfortable with these high dew points, but at least the temps […]

Our Saturday morning is beginning with cloudy skies and very humid conditions.  It should be a mostly sunny day once the clouds and fog have dissipated.  There is a slight chance of a stray shower but not l […]

To say it is uncomfortable is an understatement.  I sat outdoors with my dogs for a half hour and I felt damp.  I checked the dew point and it was at 70°F at that time.  I see that it has gone down a bit now […]

As anyone who reads my blog can tell.  I’m really tired of these hot temperatures.  I guess that I should be thankful that we haven’t had any severe weather this summer, and that the farmers have gotten enough r […]

Is it ever going to cool down this summer?  Today will be another where our highs will be nearing the 90 degree mark.  If I wanted weather this hot, I’d move down south.

Our 9:45 AM temperature is 73°F (2 […]

My morning job was trimming the bushes in front of the deck.  When I started, the temperature was in the low 70s.  By the time I finished, it was in the 80s.  It was a messy job and much of the trimmings stuck to […]

Thunderstorms developed just to our northwest Saturday evening bringing us 0.07″ of rainfall.  I watched it develop right over my area, then proceeded to move to the south southeast toward Detroit.  We didn’t g […]

This morning is perfect as a summer morning goes.  The sun is shining, temperatures are pleasant and just a  slight chance of  rain is in the forecast.  Yesterday was also nice but a bit too warm for my lik […]

Today is lovely with drier humidity and plenty of sun.  Over the past three days, we have received about 2.5 to 3 inches of much needed rain.  We were up north  Tuesday and Wednesday and we only got a few sp […]

Although we haven’t had much rain here in Topinabee, Cheboygan and Mackinaw City had some pretty substantial rainfalls yesterday although CoCoRahs reports are only showing about 1/10 inch in those areas.  […]

Another heat wave has affected Michigan once again although it is expected to be short-lived.  We should see cooler temperatures tomorrow and throughout the coming week.  Unfortunately, it will bring rain w […]

Yesterday brought rain to most of lower Michigan although  most areas didn’t get that much.  Here in Topinabee, it was mostly thunder and some wind.  The rain amounted to hard sprinkles which lasted about 15 mi […]

DROUGHT AREAS

It has been over a month for some parts of Michigan since they have received  any rain.  We were lucky and got some about 4-5 days ago, but we could use a lot more.  Scattered showers and th […]

The little rain that we received last week didn’t do much to end the drought in my area, but it did manage to green the grass up enough so that we had to mow.  Fortunately, the unbearable heat is gone and not […]

A local meteorologist is telling us that the remainder of our summer will be on the cool side.  I certainly have no problem with that.  Seventies and low eighties are perfect in my book.  There were scattered sh […]

Cooler temperatures and low humidity were the norm yesterday but any rain that developed totally missed us.  It was a very pleasant day and today should be much the same.  I think that we can give the AC a rest f […]
