🌞 Today’s Weather

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 55 degrees, low of 34 degrees. Well, as we look out the window today, it seems like Mother Nature is giving us a bit of everything. The sky’s doing its best to decide between sunny and cloudy, so it’s a good day to keep that light jacket handy. We’re sitting at a comfy 55 degrees, which is just about perfect for a stroll down Kirkwood Avenue, maybe popping into a café for a warm drink 😊. The west wind’s got a bit of a pep in its step today, blowing around 18 mph, and you might feel some gusts giving you a playful nudge as high as 39 mph. So, if you’re heading to IU Campus, watch out for any surprise breezes that might try to snatch your hat! As for the evening, it’s cooling down to around 34 degrees. If you’re planning a picnic at Lower Cascades Park, you might want to bring an extra blanket or two to cozy up with as the sun sets. The winds will calm down a bit after midnight, rolling in from the north-northwest, so it should be a peaceful, albeit chilly, night. Tomorrow looks like another partly sunny day, with temperatures hovering again around 55 degrees. A calm southeast breeze will join us in the morning—perfect weather for tackling those infamous Ballantine Hall Stairs without breaking too much of a sweat! 😊 All in all, it feels like a lovely day to enjoy Bloomington’s charm, whether you’re meandering through the shops or simply enjoying a bit of porch-sitting with a hot cup of coffee.
