Excessive Heat was also a problem the first two weeks in August across all of northern Michigan.  Temperatures reach the mid to upper 90s, on average, a few days each year; however, for a 5 day (8/5 - 8/9) stretch overnight low temperatures failed to fall below the lower 70s in most areas.  This very humid air mass was unusual for northern Michigan, an area which typically sees cool nighttime temperatures and for this reason has very few homes with air conditioners.  No heat related deaths or injuries were reported; however, most outdoor events were modified due to the forecasts of hot and humid conditions.  County fairs sent animals home, yet still there were livestock losses at fairs in Otsego and Alcona counties.  Attendance at county fairs was well below normal and this was attributed to the heat.
