Summer 2025 Heat & Weather in Michigan
July 2025 is shaping up to be one of the hottest on record across Michigan. The National Weather Service forecasts “above normal temperatures” for Southeast Michigan and the broader Great Lakes region, despite precipitation remaining near average :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. Detroit typically sees around 82°F high-temperature averages, but July 2025 is trending several degrees higher.
Additionally, a recent heat wave pushed temperatures above 90 °F over multiple days—straining irrigation systems and highlighting the need for sprinkler maintenance :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.

- Controller and wiring faults from heat exposure or electrical surges :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
