Checking Chicago-area climo for June 21-22, this kind of first day of summer happens maybe once a decade. The last four years have all had heat right around the solstice. The last year with a notably cool and rainy spell around the solstice was 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted Sunday at 08:50 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:50 PM Very lucky that I will make it to July with hardly any heat this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted Sunday at 10:33 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:33 PM My rain total is 0.47", on the low end of guidance. This is about as awful as a June day can get. It feels like April. Let's get back to warm and humid with storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted Sunday at 10:47 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:47 PM 2.17" so far. Nice soaker. EDIT: 2.37" now as it winds down. Seemed a lot like tropical remnants today. Pretty unusual to get this much stratiform rain in late June with zero thunder. The past hour or so we had heavy drizzle coming down in sheets with the gusty ne winds. Gave us an extra couple of tenths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted Monday at 02:50 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:50 AM Ultra saturated sounding from DVN earlier this evening. Explains why even the drizzle was heavy earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted Monday at 03:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:15 PM Another cool morning with upper 30’s at my place. Eagle Mine about 10 miles nw of me down to 31. Should see mid 60’s today and a bit warmer tonight w/ mid 40’s. Have about 6 weeks of good garden weather before the sun begins to sink behind the trees on the hill to my south and west, essentially shading my garden from 3 pm on. Rooting for a couple weeks of mid to upper 80’s and humidity between now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted Monday at 03:23 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 03:23 PM Low 30's to mid 40's across the area this morning with highs expected around 70. I'm sure there was patchy frost in some localized areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted Monday at 04:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:23 PM Dew point was in the mid 30's this morning. Not something you normally see in this part of Michigan in the latter part of June. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure summer. The oversized sub-tropical bugs and insects are pretty neat to see too. My favorite group of the bunch is the giant flying cockroaches… July is the peak month to see them doing their thing both indoors and outdoors, fueled by the high humidity from the daily storms and heat. I hear July is peak Mosquito season too down there. Have fun but stay safe JackStraw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted yesterday at 03:11 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:11 PM Not as chilly this morning with lows in the upper 30's/40's. Highs around 70 again, but chance of rain moving later today into tonight. That will be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never encountered any bug issues on the shore. Even got a daily sea breeze. Beautiful cumulo nimbus towers with lightning, rainbows, and fire orange tops. Every now and then a tropical storm to cool it down and bring in some good wave action. Big calls; was lobster or shrimp for dinner? What day do I go deep sea fishing? SPF 6 or 15 on the lotion? Corona or a local beer for sitting on the beach. It sucked alright. All that said, looks like we may get some real summer before the 4th. On cue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the fresh seafood, I can do everything else right here locally on the shorelines of good ole Lake Michigan June-September. Wisconsin/Michigan/Indiana shores to be exact, IL beaches suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't vacation, it's family business. Plus I'll have a pool and literally be across the street from the beach so breezes a plenty as opposed to how stifling it can get here in the still air under a heat dome like the one thats incoming. As to "flying cockroaches" someone mentioned? That's the American cockroach. Its really simple to keep them under control. You just let the native lizards live in and around the house. They are the best indoor (and outdoor) bug control I ever had in my over 30 years in the SE. No worries here. Hell, I'm still so acclimated to the SE that I wear a jacket if its under 70 lol.
