“I'm enjoying the whole thing in the sun. It feels great. It actually feels really good,” said Paris Buckner, a Milwaukee resident. “The breeze is great again, the feeling of the last day of summer, so I’m going to soak it up while I can.”

The last time Milwaukee reached warm temperatures was in October 1937, when a record 81 degrees was reached.

“We saw it was going to be nice and warm today,” said Joe Ostermen of Milwaukee. “Maybe some summer temperatures. So we thought we’d come out and use it in the water.”
