You know its blazing hot when you open your truck door and it's a blast furnace. Truck thermometer hit 96F today. Thank God we're in for some cooling mid-week.

 

Tim, you and I sleep alike. The bedroom is always like Antarctica, and me all snuggy under some blankets.
 
The humidity rolled in and the weather turned fickle today. It was 90 at 10:30AM then dropped to 86 as the wind shifted off the lake. Then it was back up to 90 around noon and peaked around 91. Dew point around 71. Up in the city it stayed cooler around 82 with the wind off the lake.

Now this is where it gets strange to me, it was 101 just 50 miles south of me! We don't normally see that kind of variation across the region. 
 
Weird weather travels east.. 

 

The weather report this AM on the radio indicted western, mid and Southeast Michigan could expect highs near 90 except for Flint where temps would reach 80.  It was true for most of the day for some reason.  Was able to get out and cut my much much too tall grass and get it to the curb before recycling came by to get it.
 
Very humid here

and 78 at this time. Sun is out now, but has rained heavily off & on most of the day. Same story yesterday, and is expected to do so tomorrow. I hope it will dry out by late tomorrow so I can walk at Spring Grove. Friday is supposed to be sunny and about 90, with cooler and dryer next week.
 
It spiked to 94° this afternoon with a dew point of 75°. The kind of humidity that suffocates you. Went for a bike ride then came back and was still sweating after my shower. Then the storms rolled in and it's been on and off since.
 
Tomturbomatic- re: car air conditioner

The car that ran out of a/c coolant is now long gone, that was my old Impala. That car used a can of coolant/freon every 2 weeks all summer, and the transmission eventually croaked. I now drive (and love!) A Prius, never had to add any yet, but I'm wondering if I may need some. I do know it takes hybrid specific freon. Oh well, it's 13 years old with over 200k on the clock. Must need something eventually, right? Hasn't needed any other repairs since I've owned it!
