Regional context

No season owns Warren's rain: April reaches 3.4 inches across 18.1 days and January keeps 1.9 inches on 15.8, an even spread through Warren's year. It is a balanced pattern Warren shares with places like Center Line, MI, Madison Heights, MI and Hazel Park, MI.

Naturalist notes

By late May, common milkweed has pushed up enough for monarch butterflies to lay eggs on the undersides of young leaves.

The waxing crescent moon of early June hangs low in the western sky after sunset, its terminator just sharp enough to reveal crater rims through binoculars.
