Interesting Detroit weather history
On this date in 2000, Detroit had an official high of 80 degrees (27 degrees Celsius). This is not only our record high for the day, but is also the earliest that Detroit has ever had an 80 degree day. Furthermore, today’s record low is -1 degree (-18 degrees Celsius), set in 1943. So today’s records of 80 degrees and -1 degree represent an 81-degree difference between this date’s temperature extremes. Yes, we have definitely entered the season of wild temperature swings.
