On May 23, 1963, the overnight temperature dropped to 28 degrees in Flint, which is the record low temperature for the day. Interestingly enough, the very next year, in 1964, the daytime temperature rose to 87 degrees, setting the record high temperature for the date. This high temperature record was equalled and thus superseded in 2007

Also on May 23, 2004, severe thunderstorms rolled across all of Southeast Michigan. One storm producing a 70 mph wind gust at Detroit Metro Airport which caused damage to a building under construction and one injury. The storms dropped 1.69 inches of rain on Detroit, 1.39 inches on Flint and 1.41 inches on Saginaw. That was the last of the heavy rainfall that pushed May of 2004 to the wettest May on record (Detroit - 8.46 inches, Flint - 8.19, Saginaw - 8.14). As a result, widespread flooding across Southeast Michigan caused over 100 million dollars in damages.
