🌞 BloomingtonOnline Weather Report

Today’s weather in Bloomington: High of 39 degrees, low of 29 degrees. Looks like we’re in for a bit of a chilly start today, but it’s mostly sunny out there, so don’t let that fool you. If you’re planning to wander over to the Arboretum for a brisk walk, a cozy scarf might be your best friend. The sun is doing its best to warm us up, but with highs just shy of 40, you’ll want to keep that jacket zipped. As we ease into the evening, it’s going to be mostly cloudy, but I wouldn’t worry too much—it’s more of a sky blanket than a storm warning. Perfect excuse to tuck into a warm slice at Mother Bear’s Pizza; just thinking about that deep-dish is enough to keep you toasty! 🍕 Once the sun sets, we’re looking at temperatures dipping down to around 29 degrees. If you’re planning to stroll around campus, maybe peek into the IU Biology Greenhouse for a little tropical escape. It’s like a mini-vacation without leaving town. 🌱 Tomorrow is shaping up nicely with temps climbing closer to 50. Maybe a good day to sit outside with a coffee from Osteria Rago. And with a gentle southwest wind, it feels like a porch-sitting kind of day, don’t you think? 😊 So, bundle up today and keep an eye out for that sunshine—it’s doing its best to make an appearance!
