July 2025 General Discussion

[WestMichigan]

Watched the rain split and go north and south as it approached over the weekend.  Managed to get a tiny lone cell after the main even to swing through and bring about 0.1" of rain.  Other than that pretty much missed out on everything else.  That D1 drought is going to be approaching D2 levels pretty soon.

Looks like today into Thurs is going to be a good douching again in my area. Lake winds may again really help the lift around the Lake. TH co-op updated their rain total for 7/16 to 2.83" from 1.92". Not sure what that was about (error in reporting I guess), but that puts July at 5.65". Another 1-3+" possible. 

Smoke thinned out yesterday evening, but is back this morning.

@A-L-E-Kmade a comment awhile ago about this being the greenest drought he remembers and I definitely concur for my neck of the woods. For some reason im in moderate drought on the monitor but haven’t watered anything the entire season and the yard is all green

Decaying bow echo dropped a nice .40” this morning. Another 48 hour heat wave incoming on its heals.

The weather had been quite pleasant for the climatologically hottest time of the year, so its hard to believe what's lurking. Won't come close to being a heatwave, we will just get one day over 90, but it will be interesting to see just how the dews actually get. For one, we are the northern fringe, and for two models often overdue dews, but its going to feel terrible regardless.

Similar here.  0.2” of mostly light rain.  The heavier rains hit downtown and areas northwest but missed the east side.  Interestingly there was a weak tornado in Allendale and that area and north got a needed soaking as well.

You must have good soil.  I don’t water my grass and it’s 90% brown.  I am watering the two young trees I have in front so I have some green surrounding them.

We're gonna put together a pretty impressive streak of daily 70+ dews.  May make a run at a 2 week streak.  Also will be some 80+ days mixed in as well.

Signs we may see some relief around the 31st when we finally get a blast of drier air.

Sunny with highs in the low 70s and dewpoints in the 40s. Boring as ever but you can’t really beat it comfortable wise in late July. Already down to the low 60s and most likely headed to the 40s tonight. Who says we can’t get low dewpoints in the summer anymore? lol
