You want to know if it was truly hot outside Sunday, ask a caddie. Or maybe a banjo player.
Moyo Ojubanire, 19, toiled four-plus hours under the sun at Plum Hollow Country Club in Southfield. The way things worked out, he spent some of that time driving a cart rather than lugging a bag, but still: was it hot hot, sort of hot or not so hot? It was hot hot, said Ojubanire, a University of Michigan junior from Farmington Hills. A breeze helped partway through the round, but still: Definitely hot hot.
According to the National Weather Service outpost in White Lake Township, the 87-degree Sunday and 88-degree Saturday were actually the hot-hottest back-to-back days of 2021 as measured at Detroit Metro Airport. More 80-plus-degree days are expected through Wednesday, said meteorologist Steve Considine, though with possible scattered showers or thunderstorms during the afternoon.
