4Warn Weather – While we still have plenty of Summer left to enjoy, you may start to notice the loss of daylight length across Southeast Michigan.
We started losing only seconds of daylight on June 22nd after the summer solstice. Today, July 8th, marks the first day of the year that daylight is lost at more than one minute per day.
Metro Detroit has about 15 hours and 6 minutes of daylight today. Our last day with at least 15 hours of daylight will be on July 13th.
The rate of daylight loss does start to slow around the autumn equinox, continuing until the winter solstice in December before we’ll go back to gaining daylight.
We still have plenty of warm days and sunshine to enjoy, including the near forecast.
This evening will be beautiful with a few clouds and a light breeze. Tonight’s temperatures fall only to the mid 60s before highs tomorrow are back into the mid 80s to near 90°.
Scattered rain develops later-day Thursday and lingers into Friday before we dry out again. Highs Friday and Saturday will be around 85° before warmer weather moves in next week.
