Summer

First Weekend of Summer Pictures

This photo slideshow, narrated by myself, discusses some of the places I've explored over the years during the first week of summer.

May 9, 2017 – Next Sixteen Weeks

In a little more then sixteen weeks, summer will be coming to a conclusion and we will be looking at autumn. How fast things change.

But in the next six weeks, look for the weather to moderate with later sunsets, which will start slowing as we reach the latest sunset of the year at 8:37 PM, which occurs on Saturday June 24th through Wednesday June 28th. Dusk isn’t until around 9:12 PM on those days. 8 PM sunsets return on August 12th, then 7:30 sunset on August 31st.

The average high climbs until Thursday July 13th, when it will stick around 83 degrees until Thursday, July 27th when it will fall down to 82 degrees and slow descend through the 80s until Thursday, August 24th when the average high will be only 79.
