If you think the weather has been crummy in your area, be glad you don’t live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Since the start of the new year, residents have only enjoyed a whopping five minutes of sunshine.
The National Weather Service confirmed the statistic on its Facebook page and noted the details are even more glum than that. “In the first 5 days of January, we have recorded 5 minutes of sunshine in southeast Grand Rapids. Our last half-sunny day was December 28,” the post read.
It gets even worse. “Our last mostly sunny day? A month ago, December 4,” the NWS said.
The weather tracker was hopeful sunshine would be heading their way soon.
