Dewpoint hit 80 for the first time this season a little while ago.  Still 79 now.  Played some horseshoes for a good hour and sweated my ass off lol.

So Spartman can breathe a huge sigh of relief.  for Stebo.

Just as expected. Still the highest temperature recorded so far this month while CMH and CVG both got 89'd, thanks to passing debris clouds this morning to early afternoon. Though DAY's previous July without any 90s was in 2014, the last time all three climate sites together had none at all in July was in 2009. Unless sometime next week (currently according to TWC) forecast highs really pan out and even overachieve, this month's predestined to be the 9th July that temperatures failed to reach 90 the whole month.

80/75 last hour felt more like Miami than Michigan when I was getting home.

Man what a difference between 80 degree dews and near 70 degree dews.  Just stepped outside and couldn't believe how much less humid it felt compared to earlier.  It's still very humid with a dew of 71, but compared to 78-80 it feels like autumn lol.

WOW ..  moved to High desert PNW 3 years ago and extremely rare to have a DP above 60 .. maybe 10 times in 3 years ??  normally 30's and 40's DP's here all summer ..  enjoy your "cool"... want epic summers vacation here.

Yeah, the near 80 stuff it seems like you sweat almost immediately after stepping outside even without doing much.  A breeze helps but often there's not a good breeze when the dews are 80+.

It's amazing how different the air mass can be around here.  During the heart of summer we can have dewpoints exceed 80 on consecutive days, and in the winter we can have dews 15-30 degrees below zero during an arctic blast.

Yep.  Tonight would be a good example.  Leaves were barely rustling before we got outflowed by the cluster of storms passing by to the north.

I'll take that consolation prize there.

CMH flirting with record max low temperatures for 7/13. An impressive 78/74 currently which appears to be the low so far. Record max min for the day is 77 in 1936. However, the good chance for storms later are likely to drop temps below the record.

[cyclone77]

The same area of north-central/northwest MO that got deluged a few weeks ago got dumped on again early this morning.  Rainfall the past 12hrs.

[michsnowfreak]

Somehow I got 0.40" this morning, but most of DTW-south got 0.15-0.25". Flood watch was an absolute joke here, but still July is off to a much wetter start than June. DTW has seen 2.36" (2.02" all of June) and mby has seen 2.77" (1.58" all of June).

And just like that, 76F at the last obs.

Hey, at least DAY wasn't 89'd, right? 

[osubrett2]

Some nice oddities for today. High of 80 at 1am and low of 71 at 11am. This is very January-esque with a Cutter.

and I thought CMH would break the daily rainfall record, but today's record of 5.13" in 1992 is the all time daily record. That won't be broken for ages.

[buckeye]

I remember that record day in 1992.   It actually occurred overnight as a train set up and it was like a severe thunderstorm that lasted for hours.   I believe many places around CMH recorded upwards of 8".

Btw, looking at the current radar, that 2.82 is not going to be the final for today's date.

DAY has not been 89'd at all so far this "Summer." So far today, DAY barely got a trace of all the storms that passed throughout the day, yet topped out at 87.

Found an interesting excerpt in the Long-Range Section of today's AFD from NWS IND:
 

 Am skeptical that these mid level
heights can make it into central Indiana as the models have been
consistently hinting at that in the 5-7 day range for the last few
weeks before eventually backing off in the following days.

That's exactly what happened in Mount Forest, Ontario and surrounding places this June 23 very early in the morning (11:00 pm - 6:00 am) minus the severe part. It would be around 6" or 158 mm of rain.

Its was a very dark gloomy day with a chilly breeze today. I actually felt cold outside when the forecast was to be dank sticky July fare. Another bust.

Been hanging around 60 degrees here in Toronto. Cold northeast wind. Getting better as time goes on.

Last summer gave me high expectations for this one, got let down I guess

The ECMWF/GEM in particular are bullish on getting those 594 dm heights into the area.

Today was down right miserable lmao. 

This summer has been terrible so far. Rains almost everyday.

Last summer was an exception. Was a warm one and the warmest since 2012.

I've been fine with this summer thus far. I look at it as being "unsettled" and there has been a ton of rain but it hasn't gotten in my way too much. I do have a problem with the lack of sunshine (last 2 days its been very dark overcast).

Last summer was the warmest on record.

Oh no, I didn't intend that it would be. Was just posting the 5pm daily climate update and went off that. Ended up with 3.11" which is good for #10 all time.

The weather has been less than desirable. The temperature has been in the low/mid 50's since the evening of the 11th, except for a short time last night when it dropped to 49. The humidity has essentially been 100% as well and besides the fog, I recorded 0.61" of rain yesterday. There wasn't much wind, but that didn't matter. Its been bad.  July running -2.4 degrees.

Sun returns today... forecast is for 70.

I was sweating my ass off yesterday. I'm looking forward to cooler days again.

The summer of slow broil.

June was 1F above normal, July was 2F above normal and August was 4.1F above normal.

You wouldn't think that would be close to a warmest ever. I think for Lansing, MI, it was a top 5 warmest ever.

I agree, we're on the third overcast day in a row and it's honestly aggravating. Is mid 20s and sunny really so much to ask for?

[cyclone77]

Only 74 today due to lots of clouds.  Dews down below 60 most of the day.  Definitely a huge change compared to Wednesday.

EDIT:  Just looked at this morning's Euro.  Better enjoy this cool weather, as it looks like mid 90s start next Tueday for several days.

Yeah, potential is there to get fairly hot but have to be wary of possible convective interference.
