Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. Six weeks to Independence Day 🇺🇸. Mostly cloudy and 61 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 55 degrees. Not a terrible morning but the clouds aren’t pushing out too quickly.

I was going to walk down to the express bus but I didn’t get an early enough start. 🚌 The local is fine. Ended up fixing the Arduino Nano I had essentially bricked last with some bad code to pick a number in a range based on the time.♒ Those microprocessors may only be $2.50 a piece but I hate to waste otherwise good electronics.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 79 degrees at 3pm. Seven degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 56 at 9am. Northwest wind 8 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 73 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1964.

The sun will set at 8:19 pm with dusk around 8:52 pm, which is 57 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies and 70 degrees. The dew point will be 51 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 13 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 54 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 43 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌞 , with a low of 52 degrees at 5am. Two degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 51 at 6pm. Northwest wind 5 to 13 mph. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1963.

So I’m still finalizing my long weekend plans but for now it looks like I’m heading up to the Southern Adirondacks, maybe to hike back to Wilcox Lake one day and do some fishing in Wells🎣. But that is still subject to change. Saturday looks great, the second half of the week not so much. Busy time of the year at work, so I doubt I’ll be able to get out of the office before five.⛺ Vermont is great but I’m bored with spending Memorial Day Weekend there. I like to mix things up.

Looking ahead, there are 6 weeks until Independence Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 8:36 pm with dusk at 9:10 pm. On that day in 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 82 and 56 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 82 degrees. We hit a record high of 104 back in 1911. Hottest day ever recorded in Albany or so I’m told.
