West Michigan has been hit with record high temperatures. In the last week, the temperature high was above 80 degrees. With no rain in the past week, a drought might occur. The temperature in Grand Rapids has been almost unbearable which is unusual for late August. It has been advised to stay inside during the record breaking heat wave. Many people do not have air conditioning, which can make it especially difficult to stay cool. During this heat wave, you can stay cool by hanging out by your local pool or at Lake Michigan!
But as fall aproaches, the temperatures are expected to cool down. Once September rolls around, it is forcasted to decrease to highs in the mid and lower 70's.
With the unbearable temperature it has been too hot to play golf. I have had to buy extra water bottles to help my team stay hydrated.His team, consisting of 8 high school girls, struggles to stay focused on perfecting their game because of the terrible heat.
