We had more sun and then it started to disappear.  Mostly cloudy and 64 degrees in Delmar. There is a north breeze at 7 mph. The clouds won’t last.  The dew point continues to drop and is 56 degrees.

Today will be mostly sunny, with a high of 80 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees below normal. North wind around 7 mph. Maximum dew point of 56 at 8am. Dropping throughout the day, with low humidity comfortable conditions expected. The record high of 98 was set in 1936. The sun will set at 8:33 pm with dusk around 9:07 pm, which is 32 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 15 hours and 4 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 1 minutes and 19 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low of 57 degrees at 5am. Five degrees below normal. Calm wind. Maximum dew point of 55 at 6am. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1978.

On this day in 1962, live television was transmitted for the first time across the Atlantic Ocean. Seems odd nowadays, when so much commerence is global and we can access a server next door as quickly as in France.

There are 3 weeks until First Day of August when the sun will be setting at 8:14 pm with dusk at 8:46 pm. The average high temperature is 82 degrees, with a record high of 101 in 1933.

The second half of the week is expected to be quite hazy, hot, and humid. Dew points expected to reach 71 with heat indexes into the 90s. Fortunately, I’ll be in an air conditioned office all week. The weekend in contrast is expected to be sunny and less humid. 

I’m thinking about going to the Mine Kill State Park pool this weekend and maybe camping at Burnt Rossman State Forest if the weather is nice. I’m a bit hesitant if I’m heading to vacation the following week but I also realize that summer is a fairly limited season and it will be fall before you know it. And those pools usually close the last day of August.
