80 degrees along the shore lately, cooler out where they measure it. Now is the peak summer temp for the lake before the long slide to when the winds of Nov. come early.
The increased water levels, highest since '86, will insure a violent washing over of bike and jogging paths and the apt named Lake Shore Drive.
Why this site calls it a 'sea' is beyond me. I have no success when I try to order Lake Michigan crab.

The submerged concrete on the left is the lowest of 3 levels leading down from our condo to our private 'beach'. It was not underwater a year ago.
The Army Corps of Engineers built that breaker with the sea gulls on it about 25 years ago. It saved our property and a condo across the street, and the street from being inundated and frozen over in the winter.
Amazing how it breaks the waves such that either side of the breaker the energy of the waves is dissipated for many yards.
