Climate in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore


Climate in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

The park lies at 45� North, halfway between the always-frozen (so far) pole and the always-warm equator. Although Lake Michigan moderates temperatures somewhat, summers are hot (sometimes over 90�F by day) and winters are cold (sometimes below 0�F). The vast water reservoir to the west means the heat is humid and the cold is snowy. Sunscreen and footwear to protect you from hot sand is essential in the summer. Spring comes fairly late, the chill of autumn can come early, and weather coming off the big lake can change conditions quickly, so dressing in layers is a good idea.
