Hot Memorial Day

Today is the first day over 90°F in Lansing for 2018. Here’s a reminder of record for days over 90:

That’s an average of 9.5±7 days over 90 per year. Last year we hit 90 on 14 days, and in 2014 we never went over 90. I still remember 4th of July 2012 when the temperature hit 103- that was the day we decided to get AC in the house. The record, though, belongs to 1988, when it hit 90 38 times with the longest streak of six days in a row (also starting on 7/4). I spent that summer in South Bend, and I remember it being pretty hot there too.
