April 4th in Garden City sits in that classic Michigan in-between: a 53° average high that could feel like spring or still like winter. History backs that up — this date has swung from a balmy 77° in 1999 all the way down to 18° in 1954. There's nearly a coin-flip chance of rain today, with a small but real 5% chance it comes down as snow.
Garden City weather doesn't mess around at the extremes — 74 years of records include a punishing 104° in June 1988 and a brutal -20° in January 1994, a 124-degree swing between the worst of summer and winter. A single June day in 2021 dropped 6.7 inches of rain, and December 1974 buried the city under 18 inches of snow in one storm.
Summer is the clear sweet spot, with highs peaking around 85° the week of July 9–15 before gradually easing through fall. If you're avoiding the cold, steer clear of mid-January, when average highs scrape just 31°. Late June into early July brings the wettest stretch of the year, averaging nearly an inch of precipitation per week.
