Recommended Posts

July 2018 summery for Grand Rapids.  The average H/L was 85.1°/63.7° The hottest day(s) was 94 on the 1st and 4th the coolest low was 54 on the 7th the mean for the month was 74.4° that is a departure of +1.9° there were 8 days of 90 or better. The official rain fall total at the airport was 2.30” but here at my house it was just 1.21” 8 days were clear 20 partly cloudy and 3 were cloudy.  July 2018 was the 21st warmest July at Grand Rapids.

July 2018 will be one of the warmest on record in parts of Michigan.  At Sault Ste Marie with a mean of 70.2° is tied with 1955 for its  3rd warmest July on record with only 1921 and 2012 being warmer. Records have been kept at the Sault since 1888. At Alpena it is the same story with a mean of 71.3L July will be their  5th warmest July on record. Records there have been taken since 1917. While at Marquette just 165 miles to the west with its mean of 66.4° it is only the 52nd warmest July there. Here at Grand Rapids with the mean of 74.4° and at Lansing with a mean of 73.2° At both locations it was the21st warmest July. And at Muskegon with a mean of 73.5 they had in 10th warmest.
