It's the end of June, but I still don't feel like we're experiencing summer weather yet. Most likely it's because I live relatively near the lake, where the temperatures are lower than they are "well inland."

Hopefully, a stretch of 80 degree days is in the forecast. Today was certainly beautiful, and served as a good start to sizzling summer weather, but there is still a chill in the air reminiscent of the end of summer, when fall is on the way.

I am the last person to speculate why our weather is changing -- I got a B- in my college meteorology class -- but if memory serves, by the end of June, summer weather in Milwaukee is usually in full swing.
