Michigan continues to reflect the overall U.S.-Canadian border weather with another month of cooler-than-normal weather.
With the exception of one day that reached 94°, the third day of 90°+ weather this year versus 12 for an average year, the weather averaged almost 2° lower than normal. This will be categorized as "near normal" by NOAA.
The period February through August has averaged 2.1° below normal.
It will take a very warm autumn and winter to return the year to normal.
Quite honestly, this has been an exceptionally pleasant summer... and close enough to "normal" that no one has really been upset with the absence of a lot of 90° days.,,
