Michigan Areas Could Feel Like 100 Degrees This Week – Here’s Where
Michigan is in for a heat wave this week. That’s interesting to me, because I was just talking with a friend about how the summer has felt mild so far, at least in the lower part of Michigan. But, that will all change this week, as areas of Michigan are expecting very hot and humid conditions, which could result in dangerous temperatures and heat indexes. In fact, some Michigan areas could feel like 100 degrees this week. Here’s when and where.
Before we get to the areas of the Mitten that are expecting this record heat, note that Michigan.gov has put together a handy list of what to do during a heat wave. They suggest to “stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun.” They also encourage residents to “drink plenty of fluids and replace salts and minerals in your body.” That also means limiting intake of alcoholic beverages. Finally, they suggest to “eat well-balanced, light, and regular meals,” adding that hot and heavy meals add heat to your body. When it’s hot out, don’t use salt tablets, either, unless directed to do so by a physician, they note. Find their full list of suggestions here.
Now, onto the heat. After a somewhat mild June and part of July, this week will get into the mid-90s for some areas of Michigan. The A warming trend is expected over the next week with highs around 90 by late week. An unsettled pattern is in place with chances for showers and storms each day with Monday and Friday having the best chances. pic.twitter.com/IMCxcWGR84
These Michigan Areas Could Feel Like 100 Degrees This Week:
As for when and where, the heat is expected to peak on Thursday and Friday. Mainly, Thursday is the day that the heat index could hit 100 in some areas of Michigan. Right now, the areas of Michigan that are forecasted to have the warmest temperatures, according to Weather.com, are Lansing (96 on Thursday), Grand Rapids (95 on Thursday), Detroit (94 on Friday) and Jackson (93 on Thursday). Those don’t include heat index numbers, which could push the feeling to 100 or higher. I say, bring it on, because I’d rather have this than snow. But, be careful, and stay cool.
