DETROIT – Here we are in the traditional "Dog Days of August," but with nary a dog day in sight.
Rather, we have mostly sunny days, with afternoon temps in the mid to upper 70s, and comfortable humidity. By the way, for those of you who crave 80s and 90s, remember that the August sun still feels pretty hot when it's 77° out. And also remember that the sun's rays are as strong on a day in the 70s as they are on a day near 90°, so don't forgo the sunscreen.
