Summer
Sunset On June 23
Across most of New York State, tonight (June 23rd) is the latest sunset of the year. This is because while on June 22nd the sunrise has started to occur later (making the days about 15 seconds shorter), the evenings have kept picking up a handful of seconds. Today, that changes. Sunset tonight will be at 8:37 PM in Albany, and will start occurring about 4 seconds earlier on Saturday night, as we start the slow but continuous progress towards winter, and the shortest days of the year.
The latest sunset in New York tonight will be in the Town of Porter, Niagara County on Lake Ontario. There the sun will set at 8:59 PM. The earliest sunset will be at 8:24 PM in the Town of East Hampton, Suffolk County, which is commonly known the "Hamptons".
Happy Summer!

2020… Still a summer to remember!
2020… Still a summer to remember! 🏖
The gold standard for summer has still have to be 2020. While it was a werid year with the COVID and the Piseco Powley Road being closed south of Brayhouse Bridge due to the Halloween 2019 storm, it was amazing by all the weeks and long weekends I spent remote working in the Adirondacks, experiencing far more nights in the wilderness than I ever would have otherwise.
