Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. 😫Three weeks to Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆. Man, I’m Debbie Downer this morning. But life is a reality. Partly cloudy, somewhat damp ⛅and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 57 degrees. But the best is yet to come.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 76 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees below normal. Maximum dew point of 57 at 9am. Northwest wind 10 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1898. Going though to be hot next weekend.

The sun will set at 8:37 pm with dusk around 9:12 pm, which is 3 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies and 67 degrees. The dew point will be 47 degrees. There will be a north breeze at 10 mph. Good weather for going to the park after work 📚although not with that book I started but I have no interest in completing. Maybe I should get Robert Caro’s The Power Broker out of the library and try to complete that this summer. Then maybe sit out back with a glass of orange juice 🍊as I like something cold sweet and I don’t drink alcohol much anymore except maybe for one or two up in the wilderness. Today will have 15 hours and 18 minutes of daytime, an increase of 18 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌞 , with a low of 50 degrees at 4am. Nine degrees below normal. North wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light northwest after midnight. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 53 degrees. The record low of 39 occurred back in 1979.

It was a nice evening camping at my parents house, although it ducks that they lost power and the Wi-Fi dropped so I couldn’t finish my map of lakes with toxic algae blooms.🐸 Hopefully I’ll be able to get that up later today. I’m going to try to update that throughout the summer as I’m curious to monitor which region have the most hazardous algae blooms. I was thinking it would be upstate with agriculture run off but most of them so far have been shallow park ponds downstate, especially on long island.

On this day in 1998, in Clinton v. City of New York, the United States Supreme Court decides that the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 is unconstitutional.🏫 They would have to amend the constitution if they want to give that power to the president but I think that’s unlikely especially with the abuses of power by the Trump monster.

The sink in my bathroom is draining slow so I’m going to get some lye aka drain solvent to get it working. 🛀 Usually that’s all it takes to dissolve all the hair from shaving. I haven’t had problems in years since I started using a drain screen but oh well. I’ll run up to GHETTO Market 32 during lunch time and buy a big jug of the solvent. I should use it from time to time in the bathtub drain because that also gets slow from time to time.

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 8:30 pm with dusk at 9:03 pm. On that day in 2017, we had partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 85 and 61 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 83 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1900.
