Jonger Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm on the beach in Grand Haven right now.... 58℉, nobody in the lake. Worst LES season ever is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have nothing to complain about, it has been fairly active with storms, sure it would be nice to have some more severe weather but it isn't a dealbreaker. I am also fine that it hasn't been blisteringly hot, we had plenty of that the previous summers before last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm on the beach in Grand Haven right now.... 58℉, nobody in the lake. Worst LES season ever is on the way. I just have to laugh, we're in a summer complaint thread and the first formal complaint deals with the upcoming winter. Anyway, I have no complaints, but if I was a warminista, like Powerball I would be all over this thread. It has been the coolest summer in awhile.

Chicago WX Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Total lack of anything close to exciting IMBY, in the thunderstorm and/or severe department. Goes back to Spring too...so it's a Spring/Summer complaint/rant. Just crappy luck I guess. Other than that, this Summer has been perfection. EDIT: live LAF screwjob.

August 1st is when people start trying to analyze the upcoming winter, it's like OTAs in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Only thing I can complain about this summer are the bugs. Huge infestation of swarming gnats that started in May and lasted into July, which is very unusual. Usually they only last a few weeks. Had a week or two of very thick mosquito population as well. None of this should be too surprising considering the huge amount of rain we had last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Not really complaining, but after the cold, snowy winter we experienced, I was looking forward to a blistering hot hoosierwxdude-type summer. Not happening. My only complaint would be a severe lack of severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I really have nothing to complain about. This has been an absolute perfect working weather for construction outdoors. I wish every summer was like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 As close to perfection as it can get for me up to this point. Same here. My complaint is that I have been sick all of July....not able to enjoy this weather to the max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well, this thread hasn't had much use. Can't really complain about the mild temps and low dews. That could change later next week when a more typical summer pattern looks like it will make an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The hit and miss rain has been mainly a miss IMBY. My yard is looking thirsty. A nice all day soaker would be nice. Maybe even a couple of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well, this thread hasn't had much use. Can't really complain about the mild temps and low dews. That could change later next week when a more typical summer pattern looks like it will make an appearance. I can complain. After this record cold winter I was looking forward to a hot and humid summer. From May to September I enjoy the heat and humidity as I go to the beach often. I've only been there 4 times all summer. Winters just last so dang long up in these areas. (Nov-March/April) that it is nice to get some warmth. This pattern has been going on for a year or so. Maybe this years winter will be warmer than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 No complaints....but anyone have a solid alternate route from roughly 355 and I80 heading to shelbyville, mi? Been going there for 19 years now....but with a departure time of 4:30 and a 6 and 3 year old...i'm looking to avoid the indiana parking lot....especially if some downpour storms slow things even further...i have done a few different routes in the past....but perhaps some have some other options...thanks!

daddylonglegs Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nothing much to complain about. Good stuff. Maybe a little on the wet side. Lots of gnats early. Mosquitos were up and down. I mowed way too much. Heat was bearable when it did show up. Sure does come and go fast.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 On pace for the the coolest summer here since at least sometime in the 2000s. August was running about -3F below normal. July was a little below -3F while June was about 2.2F*. After the big heat wave August is 1.1F above normal. In spite of the summer being normal overall it sure seemed cool versus recent years. Electric bill took a nasty hit tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Same here. My complaint is that I have been sick all of July....not able to enjoy this weather to the max! Too bad the pattern didn't hold. Went from exciting and action packed, no 90 days or better to total snooze fest, missed opportunities, and a 90+ which sent my grade tumbling to a C and thus average. Oh well.

cyclone77 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 4km NAM forecast for Wed. LOL worthy to be sure for the typical NW IL screw job. Northeast IL dominates northwest IL for meaningful events anymore it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
