June 22, 2019 Morning
Good morning! Happy Average High is 80 π! Well that’s not the case up here in the Adirondacks but still a beautiful day. Three weeks to Hottest Time of the Year π . Partly sunny and 64 degrees at the Perkins Clearing. There is a north-northwest breeze at 13 mph. The breeze is nice, no mosquitoes today but a big ol horse fly got me in the hand β where it’s tender. π. The dew point is 47 degrees.
Today will be sunny π, with a high of 71 degrees at 3pm. Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 22nd. Maximum dew point of 47 at 10am. Northwest wind 13 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Good for the bugs. π A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 81 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1954.
I ended up sleeping π΄ in until 10:30 this morning, recovering from the week that was. Beautiful day for sure but not real warm by summer standards – not beach weather. I thought about hiking back to Pillsbury Lake but that’s such a tiny parking area, I’ve misplaced my flashlight π¦ last night when I was on the bucket shitter and it’s already afternoon. Maybe instead I’ll just fish the Miami River, maybe hiking rather than driving there. πΆ
The sun will set at 8:42 pm with dusk around 9:18 pm, which is 10 seconds later than yesterday. π At sunset, look for mostly clear skies π and temperatures around 64 degrees. The dew point will be 48 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 13 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 25 minutes of daytime, an increase of 6 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be mostly clear π, with a low of 47 degrees at 5am. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 17th. Northwest wind 6 to 13 mph. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 57 degrees. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1940. Be wearing the hoodie again tonight.
As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Hottest Time of the Year π when the sun will be setting at 8:37 pm with dusk at 9:12 pm. On that day in 2018, we had hot weather, mostly sunny skies and temperatures between 88 and 61 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 83 degrees. We hit a record high of 96 back in 1894.
Not too bad
Summer
I should get up
The Book Show #1606 – Bill McKibben | WAMC
Bill McKibben, often referred to as “America’s most important environmentalist,” thirty years ago offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change in his book, “The End of Nature.” Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game, he suggests, has begun to play itself out. The new book is “Falter.”
This is a very interesting podcast, I was listening to it a few hours ago.
