June 15, 2018 Morning
Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is Average High is 80 🏖. Maybe if you average together today and Monday’s weather you will get that. Rain and 63 degrees in Albany. β There is a north-northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 52 degrees. The skies will clear around noontime.
It wasn’t a really rainy morning until the rain started. 💦 I guess that is obvious. Now it’s kind of a wet day but the rain is not expected to last.
Today will have isolated showers before 11am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 75 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 52 at 8am. North wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies with more clouds in the afternoon. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 96 was set in 1988.
The sun will set at 8:35 pm with dusk around 9:09 pm, which is 24 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies and69 degrees. The dew point will be 52 degrees. There will be a north breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 18 minutes of daytime, an increase of 22 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌞 , with a low of 53 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 52 at 8pm. North wind around 5 mph becoming light and variable in the evening. In 2017, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 40 occurred back in 1961.
So I ordered that software radio adapter I was looking at earlier in the week. I was wrong about it being able to pick up television stations but I should be able to get a wide variety of radio signals through it. I don’t really enjoy watching TV at any rate. Even just having FM radio to listen to while I’m using my laptop without wifi will be nice📻. But I’ve also installed software to be able to decode digital two way radios, so I’ll be able to listen to police when they are racing past my house to respond to some who has parked their car over time. 🚨
On this day in 1967, The People’s Republic of China tests its first hydrogen bomb. It would be one of the world’s few powers with access to the devestatingly powerful hydrogen bombs.
As previously noted, next Friday is Average High is 80 🏖 when the sun will be setting at 8:36 pm with dusk at 9:11 pm. On that day in 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 81 and 53 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 80 degrees. Well I guess I got that part right. We hit a record high of 95 back in 1954.
