WEST MICHIGAN — Grand Rapids in 2024 has recorded two 11-day streaks of 80° days. One bunch was in mid-June, and the other from July 26 to August 5.
September is on pace to beat that, and beat a 63-year old record, too.
Grand Rapids has seen seven 80 degree days already in September, including five in a row, starting September 10.
In the midst of warmth, lakeshore communities got hot Saturday. Muksegon and Beton Harbor recorded 90 degrees September 14. This is the latest 90° day in a year for Muskegon since 2017, and 4th latest on record.
The average number of 80° days in September is only 8, and we are expecting a full forecast of 80s.
We are eyeing this year to have the most 80 degree days in September since 2017 as well.
2024 is on pace to break the record of the most in a row in September, beating out 1961.
The heat doesn't seem to stop anytime soon, but things can change on a dime in West Michigan, so don't take this heat for granted!
