NWS Confirms: Summer 2014 Cool, Wet

On the calendar, we have three more weeks of summer. Meteorologically, summer ended this past weekend. You’ll not be surprised to learn that our summer was wetter and cooler than average. National Weather Service figures compiled in Marquette placed June temperatures a half-degree above average… but July was more than three degrees below normal, and August was two degrees below average. Meanwhile, Marquette received five-and-a-half more inches of rain than we usually do in June, July and August.
