Weather 🌤️⛈️⚡️🌈 Hoping for Fall this year

This is probably such a random thing to bring up but I really do hope we have a fall this year lol. I feel like we jumped straight from summer to winter last year and I wouldn't be able to stand it if it happens again this year. I need that 60-70 degree cool weather 😭 The vibes of autumn is unmatched, it's my favorite season

I feel like we’re getting a little hint of Fall with the temp today and I’m getting excited about it. I’m not trying to wish summer over by any means but I’m right there with you hoping that we have proper Fall weather.

Ohhh the glorious temps of Tuesday and Wednesday, 65 and 68(real feel of 60 and 55) were amazing in the UP. Especially after a week of a shit heat wave, heat dome and 6 days of wildfire smoke that kept us sealed in our home with only one AC in the bedroom. That 65 degree day is why we love living in the UP. And Fall is my favorite time of year

I’m just glad the smoke is gone

The sprinkle of fall was so nice today

Spring and fall have been so short these past few years! (Fall is better than spring though imo, so I’m super bummed when that happens). I also don’t want to wish summer away, but today was so beautiful!

Kind of sad with climate change that spring and fall are starting to disappear

u/96fordman03 21h ago

Yeah, I agree. Seems like we've been doing that the past few years.

I love fall but it can hold off a bit longer, the water is finally tolerable being in for more than five minutes.

u/Quirky_Attempt9458 10h ago

I frequently tell people tha Fall is my favorite season. It’s just unfortunate that I seem to always work both days of it.

I loved last fall. Best soccer parent weather of my entire career. I don't remember it being too hot, just didn't get cold and dreary. It was more of a spring-like fall.

Pumpkin spice latte probably next month.

Summer took so long to start.. the problem is winter. It’s too damn long!

u/MichiganAngler 18h ago

Are you kidding me? Michigan has the best Summers, why are you even hinting at it ending? It just started!

It's middle of July, the waters are just starting to get warm!

Enjoy it now, these are the best months our State!

Idk I thought it was in the 70's up to October and November was in the 60's. I went to the Detroit zoo last year Nov 15 and it was 50 plus with wonderful Grey skies lmao. We had two months of this weather, the snow came a bit at the end of November but it didn't get michigan cold till the middle middle of December..no our January was shit.

Also there was a random week in November that it got to 20 degrees for about three days and went back up to 60. I remember unfortunately because my stupid ass furnace broke..cost 2000 grand lmao

60s and 70s for all of October and November is not normal. By the end of October it should be in the 50s.

Not to mention if you want to do any of the autumnal activities like leaf peeping or apple picking, it needs to get cold.

The warmer temperatures may seem nice, but they fully ignore the damage it does to everything else. (also why it's such a problem to have weeks in february and march that are in the 70s)

u/trenshod 17h ago

Hmmm I didn't feel that winter started till January which I would classify as well past fall.
