All Activity

3 closet Davis stations to my house had 9.66, 9.89 and 10.21 inches for the month. No wonder I have mushrooms growing all over the yard.

All my vegetables are going to bolt with this heat

Our last major volcanic eruption was Mt. Pinatubo (in 1991), but we didn't really get the full effects of the cooling due to a strong el nino. Just the fact that it was able to cause any type of cooling, despite the strong el nino, should tell you how strong that volcanic eruption was. If Pinatubo happens ahead of strong la nina, like in the summer of 2007, there's no doubt in my mind we would have had a longer lasting temporary cooling period.

Maybe I am blind, but I am not seeing a true heat signal yet. We have a few well above average days this week, but then it is right back to normal/below normal. Highs in the mid 70s this time of year are normal. Today will be another well below normal day. Thursday should be +10 to +12 then right back down to the mid 70s. Anyone who is proclaiming high heat can you point me as to where you are seeing this? Maybe in the southern part of our forum?

That genuinely is.

Crazy - I never heard a thing nor did I see so much as a twig down around here.

He actually shaved 3-4 degrees off of his original projected highs - now he's only forecasting 83-87 on Wednesday. It was 86-90 over the weekend.

Lowes or Home Depot has it.

True. It was very hazy yesterday due to the smoke.

Just a warning, some of us in the lakes forum have speculated that he is a former troll account. And same here; bluewaves theories, regardless of whether it is just to get the pattern correct, or its a convenient scapegoat to make nyc winters warmer/less snowy, or a mixture of both...would imply good winters here in MI so I would have NO issue with his outcome. I just dont like anyone talking in absolutes as if they have a crystal ball. While its very rare for NYC to have a better winter than here (tho it has happened- see 1957-58, 1960-61, 1995-96), it's a little more common for NYC to have a more favorable pattern for their local climate than we have for ours (even if the end result is still a "wintrier" winter here). So these assumptions that NYC is just never going to have a good winter barring a volcano eruption are imo ridiculous regardless of ANY background factors, let alone all of them. When it happens Ill be waiting patiently to hear the reasoning why it did. Especially from a snow perspective since this past winter was much, MUCH colder than anticipated, so the lack of east coast snowfall took the spotlight away from temps. If we ever DO have one of those years where its a good NYC winter and not a good one here, Ill be in a shitty mood, so I will REALLY wait for that explanation

Haven't seen any aurora pictures from MN/WI/IL from last night so I'm guessing the smoke busted it?

Let's see how much (if any) that the Canadian wildfire smoke mitigates it - MU thinks it will have an impact.

How were they? Hot, hot, hot lol. The 1930s-1950s were by far the era of most 90F+ days here. We had a spike again in the 2010s (but even then, far less 100s than the 1930s-50s) but have already digressed in the 2020s. Detroit has hit 100F+ a total of 38 times in 155 years of record, and 21 of those 38 times fell between 1930-1955.

I know. Quite chilly for June

Another cool start, 48F at DTW and cooler elsewhere, but this time its warming up rapidly.

33.1 with heavy frost this morning. The car's windshield had an amazing amount of ice - pretty wild for June 2nd.

Had to turn my space heater on...this is kinda insane, lol Although a fb memory that came up for 2020 I was talking about how weird it was that it was still this cool!

Smoke and dust.

My low was 3C/37F. The smoke plume has arrived over me looking at sat. With how dank this May was, at least I wasn't breathing in the smoke with that haze blocking out 25% of the sun. Not sure about these sunny days coming up.

May 2025 Avg Max: 62.4 -2.3 Warmest: 81, 28th High on May 23 was 44, which is 23° BN Avg min: 43.3 +3.3 Coolest: 27, 1st Mean: 52.8 +0.5 The avg diurnal range of 19.1 is 5.6 BN and 2nd lowest behind May 2011 Precip: 6.44" +2.48" Greatest day: 0.96" 18th Jan-May precip is 101% of the avg. No traces of snow were seen.

37.4 early this morning!! That is insane for June 2!!!!! Normals in my neck of the woods for this date are 77 and 56.

We had our 2nd straight morning with low temperatures in the 40's across much of the area. This is the first time since 2017 that we have seen back-to-back days with lows that chilly. Today will be our 15th below normal day over the last 16 days. The good news is we will finally warm back to normal tomorrow and then we will move several degrees above normal by Wednesday. The warmest day of the week should be Thursday with highs in the mid 80's across most of the Western Philly burbs. The Philly heat island should see their 1st 90+ day this week. Our next shower chances look to be by Friday PM into Saturday.

Heat coming midweek. So it begins.

Low of 46. Summer arrives this week.
