Summary
The July 1976 Beaver Beacon reports Beaver Island’s June weather as an 82° high, 40° low, 0.93 inches of precipitation, and average high and low temperatures of 68.8° and 45.5°. The August issue prints another June table, with 86° and 45° extremes and 2.15 inches of precipitation. Both are retained as source-bounded, conflicting newspaper summaries.
Evidence and limits
These are values reported by Fire Officer Bill Wagner in the local newspaper, not an official station series or independently audited meteorological record. The two issue-level summaries should not be merged into one invented series.
