Definitely a hot and sticky evening. They don’t get much hotter, at least not until tomorrow night.  We have lots of fireflies out enjoying the heat and humidity although the skies are somewhat cloudy in the west. There was a slender moon that just a little while dipped into the clouds and disappeared beyond the horizon. At 10 pmPartly cloudy and 77 degrees in Delmar. There is a west-northwest breeze at 3 mph. The dew point is 65 degrees, guaranteeing sticky sleeping conditions.

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low around 68. Seven degrees above normal. Dew points will only be a few degrees below the low. Calm wind. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1979.

The sun will rise at 5:26 am with the first light at 4:51 am, which is 42 seconds later then today.

Tomorrow look for scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 9am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 90 with dew points exceeding an oppressive 70. Eight degrees above normal with lots of mugginess. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. The record high of 97 was set in 1988.

All I can say it’s hot outside and even hotter in my apartment. It’s tempting to just sleep outside or in my truck. But I have the fan inside, and took some sleeping pills and just got done enjoying a cold glass of orange juice. Not too bad sitting out back, or even when I was at the park earlier. I do need to get a library book to read. Maybe at lunch time tomorrow at the Albany Public Library. The laptop is fun at the park but I still like reading a book after work. I learn something and it calms my nerves. 

I’m glad I’m not camping this weekend. I got to do some cleaning, work on some code, and relax. I like nights spent out in the wilderness but after a while packing and unpacking camping gear gets really tiring. Hopefully it won’t be so muggy this weekend.
