🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 38 degrees, low of 36 degrees. Looks like we’ve got a cozy day ahead, Bloomington friends! 🌤️ It’s one of those mornings where you might want to grab a warm cup of coffee and take a peek outside. Our lovely town is waking up to a mix of clouds and sun, with a high near 38. That gentle south southwest breeze at around 8 mph is just enough to rustle the leaves and give a hint of what’s to come. If you’re planning a lunchtime stroll down Kirkwood or a quick trip to the 4th Street International Market, you may want to layer up a bit as we’ll be hovering around 36 degrees with some scattered sprinkles and flurries dancing in the air between 9pm and midnight. It’s that kind of day where you appreciate the changing seasons and the beauty each one brings to our corner of the world. 🍂❄️ As we move into the afternoon, those clouds will start to gather, but don’t let that dampen your spirits. By late afternoon, the sun will make a grand appearance again, peeking through the clouds and bringing us a high near 44. A lovely, gentle southwest wind at 3 to 6 mph will remind us that even in the midst of change, there’s a steady rhythm to the day. Keep an eye out for some patchy fog between 9am and 10am—just nature’s way of adding a touch of mystery to our morning routine. And as the day unfolds, let’s embrace the subtle shifts in weather and mood as we move from cloudy to sunny. Maybe it’s a day for a comforting meal at Siam House or a cozy dinner at Samira Restaurant & Turkuaz Café. Let the weather guide your plans and enjoy the little moments that make Bloomington so special. ☕🍲 So, my fellow Bloomington neighbors, grab your favorite jacket, a smile for a passing friend, and savor the day ahead. Whether you’re exploring the IU Office of University Archives or simply enjoying a peaceful moment in your own backyard, let the weather be your gentle companion. Wishing you a day filled with warmth, connection, and a touch of that Bloomington magic. 🏡💫
