"Good afternoon, Time: 2:44. The Lawrence area weather: partly cloudy today, fair and warmer tonight. Temperature: 80."
It's a typical recorded message available from any weather service in Lawrence — typically except that it's the morning report. It's also the afternoon and it's only 80 degrees.
The forecast for the rest of the week predicts showers and thunderstorms tomorrow or Friday and clouds on Saturday. The rest of the month will have normal temperatures, according to Gary Punk of the Topka Weather Service.
There were no records broken in May despite cooler temperatures. Funk was not surprised.
"I'M AN OLD conservative," he said. "You know, we get so much in the media about the climate changing and that we're going to have cooler summers and warmer winters."

"At the opening Saturday, Memorial weekend, we had our biggest opening crowd ever, although we don't really keep any records on that. Last Saturday was in the 80s, and we had 727 people." Lockwood said.
He said, however, they hoped to average 500 to 600 swimmers a day but were not able to do that.
LOCKWOOD SAID THAT because the water was heated, swimmers were comfortable in the water but that sunbathing has been almost nonexistent.
Schopper offered some tips for frustrated sunbathers. Although she rarely uses suntan lotion, she prefers Coppertone, strength 2 or 4. She also uses long-lasting hairs were from 10 to 2 p.m. (or to 4:30 p.m. for serious sunners).

2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
THE ROLLER BROS. have been in the carnival business a long time, Affalter said. The circus was here several years ago when the FOP sponsored its "Shows of Tomorrow" to benefit a disabled policeman.
"We were real impressed by what a good, clean show they had then," he
