I guess pleasant is relative.  This is from SW Alaska.  Personally I would agree with you though.
 

 

crazy how perspectives on heat vary so much / change so quickly. coming out of the winter, first 70 degree day of the spring is usually pretty jarring, feels *hot* in the direct sun. after a few months of that, though, the 82 degree high here today felt super pleasant, even in direct sun

91 yesterday, same today. Hopefully that rain materializes tomorrow night into Friday. We need it badly.

Squeaked out an 80/70 this aftrn. Comfortably warm.

the way short term models are bouncing around with the track of the slp for fri/sat reminds me a lot of a clipper

If the EPS mean pans out, it will be a record or near-record SLP for August as it is sliding across central Illinois. Record in that area is 1001-1002mb and EPS mean is hovering around that.

85/71/90 this aftrn. Muggy. Hoping for stms later. Lake is getting warmer. The light SSW wind today (5-15 mph) bringing in some Lake air, but not really affecting temps as much now. 10C/50F offshore to 16C/61F down near DLH. Still cool, but warmer air is able to overwhelm near lake surface air temp easier now.
