High Temps, but low humidity, made for a pleasant weekend.

Went down to the beach- Lake Michigan and finally went swimming. Brr it was cold! Mid late June is about right for being able to get in.

It’s hot.

Make sure you’re all reapplying sunscreen (I’ve learned my lesson)

Temperature forecast is so high that my wife gave me the preemptive go-ahead to delay mowing for a few days, so that’s a positive to this heat wave at least.

Agreed, it was surprisingly comfortable outside this weekend despite the high temps. Went to a farmer’s market on Saturday morning to get some fresh locally roasted coffee beans and it was very sunny but nice. I did make sure to do the lawn mowing yesterday morning though instead of Sunday afternoon as I normally do. Thanks for the reminder @Isabel, I didn’t remember to put sunscreen on though so I need to work on that.

90+ is not comfortable, no matter the humidity. Soon the heavy thunderstorms will flood my basement again. I hate summer.
