WEST MICHIGAN — For many of our communities in West Michigan, Saturday, Oct 22, was the warmest day since Oct 11. Grand Rapids high temperature rose to the high of 75 degrees.
Kalamazoo: 77 degrees
Holland: 77 degrees
Battle Creek: 77 degrees
Muskegon: 79 degrees
Record warmest highs for this time of year tend to be in the lower 80s. Although we didn't knock a record, we still recieved much above average temperatures.
Saturday was also the first 100% sunshine in Grand Rapids since Oct 4. One hundred percent sunshine means that the sunshine counter at the National Weather Service counted sunshine the entire day.
