    We had a few oppressive days in June where heat indexes neared 100F. The hottest temp was 95F on June 17th. Surprisingly, Detroit has logged 12 days of 90F+ this year (6 in June, 1 July, 5 August) but the other 11 were all between 90-92. Last year there was literally zero oppressive heat (only 2 days touched 90F, and just barely). We really get very few days in the mid-90s or higher anymore, something that was so common place 1930-1960. I can see Windsor from the Detroit River here in Wyandotte! Stay cool!

    Idk. Maybe 93-94?

    Its 90/75 at Marquette. Shocked they dont have a heat advisory in the UP.

    Ridge overhead will make it very hot...but what in the world does "a completely different era of climate" have to do with anything? Like most midwest places, Chicagos greatest concentration of 90s was in the mid-20th century. Blame it on the dustbowl, blame it on todays humidity, blame on whatever you want, but it was easier to get the real hot temps back then than it is now. Annual 90+ days at Chicago 1930s- 19 1940s- 23 1950s- 28 1960s- 19 1970s- 21 1980s- 22 1990s- 16 2000s- 13 2010s- 19

    Either scenario is fine by me. Really pulling for a good December here. Those are very common in Ninas and we are overdue.

    So the early calls are a weak La Nina thats going to act like a strong one? Some of this stuff is so confusing lol.

    @Stormchaserchuck1 has noted many times that the MJO is very hard to predict long-term.

    The longest heatwave on record for this area happened from August 25 - Sepember 4, 1953. Detroit 8/25/53: 92/64 8/26/53: 96/71 8/27/53: 95/69 8/28/53: 96/67 8/29/53: 96/71 8/30/53: 97/71 8/31/53: 97/71 9/01/53: 98/70 9/02/53: 100/76 9/03/53: 100/71 9/04/53: 91/61

    Awesome. Thanks for the suggestion!

    August 1908 was cooler than avg but Sept 1908 warmer than avg.

    I'm going to the Porkies Oct 6-9

    Wild swings with the final cumulative outcome being above avg precip/snow would be a pretty typical La Nina Michigan winter.

    Usually that happens in late August, but a bit more color is showing here than usual.
  14. michsnowfreak
    It would take too much research to figure out that since a trace is the same as 0 when running computed streaks in xmacis. But the record for longest stretch without measurable precip, not just for Aug-Sept but the entire period of record, is 39 days from August 20 - September 27, 1908. A trace fell on 2 of those days (Sept 1 & 24).

    No doubt it's been a warm year. It was just an observation I had, locally, that for the 2nd summer in a row, we had a lot of fantasy range heat that never materialized.
  16. michsnowfreak
    It seems the weeklies have been warm in the extended range whether it ends up that way or not (this summer).

    Another cool morning. 53 at DTW but 40 ann Arbor, 44 white lake, 45 monroe

    The Feb 2018 map is a more extreme example of the CPC forecast for this winter and sure enough Feb 18 saw a parade of winter storms in this area before the late month torch.

    Big wintertime cold is a given if a pattern works out. Anyone that doesnt realize that doesnt know the difference between weather and climate. A few things Ive noted about winter time cold locally. ~The frequency of winters with below zero temps is relatively steady. About 75% of winter see below zero temps at Detroit, and near 100% in rural areas of SE MI ~From 2009-2019, 4 different winters saw temps of -13F or colder at DTW. Prior to 2009, the period of 4 years with those temps spanned 1982-2008. ~The coldest winter temps, which used to almost always happen on clear, calm cold snowcovered nights, now sometimes come with howling arctic winds creating much lower wind chills. Ive had wind chills of -30F or colder in 2014, 2015, 2019, 2022, 2024. Prior to 2014, Id guess 1994 was the last time it felt that cold.

    A chilly 51F at DTW this morning, but outlying areas well in the 40s, including 44F in Monroe & 43F White Lake. The cold spot was Ann Arbor at 38F.

    Awesome data as always!

    Ive seen 2007-08 thrown around quite a bit. Fantastic winter in the Great Lakes. Temps near avg overall (colder Dec/Feb, warmer Jan) and several snowpack crushing thaws, even a few winter torches (see early Jan 2008) but overall a nonstop parade of snowstorms. Snowfall that winter totaled: 71.7" in Detroit, 82.8" in Flint, 60.3" in Chicago, & 99.1" in Milwaukee. Also, I went up to Paradise, MI (on Lake Superior in the UP) the first week of March, and saw to this day what is the deepest snowpack of my lifetime.

    As we wind down met summer with windows open and fresh air most of this week, I am really shocked how comfortable summer was. This is now two summers in a row with hardly any real heat, outside of the mid June heatwave this year (and that, too, underperformed). Impressive considering the strong signal for a broiling summer this year.
  24. michsnowfreak
    Open windows this week. Cool fresh breeze. Love it as summer winds down!

    Speaking of 2001-02. Check out that snowfall total at Marquette.
