June 30, 2019 Morning

Good morning! Where did June go? Summer is coming and going quickly. But this wasnโ€™t a good weekend to head out of town. Two weeks to National Nude Day ๐Ÿ‘ฑ. Cloudy and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜ There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. The dew point is 61 degrees.

It really poured for a while this morning ๐Ÿ’ฆ with a few dramatic thunder claps but now itโ€™s stopped and just cloudy. โ˜ Supposed to clear out later on but Iโ€™ll believe it when it happens. Barometer seems a pretty steady 29.80 here, dropped a little bit from last night. Been working on my barometer display as part of the VMS in my bedroom โ€” works fairly good but Iโ€™m still finding bugs in the code and other improvements Iโ€™d like to make. Itโ€™s fun watching the air pressure go up and down and what it means for the coming weather.

Today will have showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. Mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฆ, with a high of 74 degrees at 5pm. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 2nd. Maximum dew point of 61 at 11am. North wind 10 to 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. It became humid as the day progressed. The high last year was 94 degrees. The record high of 98 was set in 1964.

The sun will set at 8:37 pm with dusk around 9:11 pm, which is 7 seconds earlier than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At sunset, look for partly clear skies ๐ŸŒ„ and temperatures around 70 degrees. The dew point will be 55 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 11 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 15 minutes of daytime, an increase of 37 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be partly cloudy ๐ŸŒค, with a low of 57 degrees at 5am. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 18th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 6pm. Northwest wind 7 to 11 mph. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies. It became very sticky as the night progressed. It got down to 72 degrees. The record low of 45 occurred back in 1978.

I decided this week to make up Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches for work. ๐Ÿฅช Theyโ€™re good for a change. Iโ€™ve been having too many hot lunches, Iโ€™m tired of ravioli and chicken all the time. Plus now I wonโ€™t have to worry about keeping things cold, especially if I pack them going hiking. Iโ€™ll also bring it up to camp to pack a lunch when I go up to Moose River Plains.๐ŸŽ’

This week I also bought apple juice ๐Ÿas something to drink as an alternative to beer, as I donโ€™t drink alcohol at home anymore. As soon as I get home from camping I always put the beer away in my attic, where it sits warm until i go camping. I drink a lot more water with cider vinger for flavor โ€” or as I also picked up this week โ€” some lemonade juice. Just add enough to make the water a bit tart โ€” I donโ€™t use sugar. I do also drink quite a bit of milk but less then I used to.๐Ÿฎ

On this day in 1971, Ohio ratifies the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, reducing the voting age to 18, thereby putting the amendment into effect. ๐ŸŽ‚โ˜‘ Also in 1934, The Night of the Long Knives, Adolf Hitlerโ€™s violent purge of his political rivals in Germany, takes place.๐Ÿ”ช Fortunately, we only have obnoxious rhetoric to that impact on Facebook in our country today. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Continued to work on the display in my bedroom. ๐Ÿ“บ The barometric features seem to be working well know, itโ€™s nice to get updates on the barometric pressure. Lots of little changes and tweaks to make to the code, and I keep finding things to debug and improve.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until National Nude Day ๐Ÿ‘ฑ when the sun will be setting at 8:31 pm with dusk at 9:05 pm. On that day in 2018, we had hot, humid, partly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 88 and 72 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 83 degrees. We hit a record high of 99 back in 1995.
