Good morning! Today is the first day when the Average High is 70 🐮. I’m sure the ladies who chew the cud like that. For the next 130 days the temperature will average above 70. Cloudy, dark and scary and 59 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 51 degrees.

Today will have patchy dense fog before 8am. Otherwise, partly sunny ☁, with a high of 71 degrees at 4pm. One degree above normal. Makes sense, see above. Maximum dew point of 52 at 4pm. Light and variable wind becoming south 9 to 14 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 77 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 1991.

The sun will set at 8:12 pm with dusk around 8:44 pm, which is one minute and 2 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and64 degrees. The dew point will be 52 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 41 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and one second over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy ☁, with a low of 54 degrees at 5am. Seven degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 54 at 11pm. South wind 6 to 10 mph. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 55 degrees. The record low of 30 occurred back in 1959.

Looking forward to having the next two days off. I got to get the bolts for the solar panel and try to get that mounted and wired tomorrow.🔌 I also may try to schedule a doctor’s appointment to look at the bruise I have on my foot. I think I vaguely remember dropping something last week but it’s still concerning at least to me as I don’t want to have an infection there if that’s what I’m seeing. I’ll reevaluate tomorrow and try to get into the doctor on Friday if necessary. 👣At any rate, it’s four days away from work after several busy long weeks. I may also take off a Friday or two in June for actual camping trips so I can enjoy a long weekend.⛺

Looking ahead, there are 7 weeks until Independence Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 8:36 pm with dusk at 9:10 pm. Ducking ducks that it’s a Wednesday. 🐥No long weekend for me. On that day in 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 82 and 56 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 82 degrees. We hit a record high of 104 back in 1911. Hottest day ever recorded so far in Albany. But who knows with climate change. 🌎
