Good evening! Partly clear and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a west breeze at 8 mph. 🍃

It’s a fairly nice evening, I thought 💭 it was a good weekend. Saturday I went to Schodack Island and Sunday to the Albany Pine Bush Preserve and Five Rivers. Spent a lot of time looking at the birds 🐦 and wildlife. 🐸 🐰 Even common wildlife is fascinating to observe. 🔎 It’s so easy to walk by it in the woods and not observe all that is happening. I did see some fireflies 🐝 outside the other night, I’ve not spent as many evenings out back lately as another one of those camping chairs I got from Walmart is falling apart again. I should look for something of better quality.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 43 degrees at 4am. Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 3rd. West wind 5 to 8 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2019, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 49 degrees. The record low of 35 occurred back in 1945.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon with 73% illuminated. At 9 PM, the moon was in the south (182°) at an altitude of 49° from the horizon, some 226,344 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by November 19^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Strawberry 🍓 Moon is on Friday, June 5. The darkest hour is at 12:54 am, followed by dawn at 4:47 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:22 am in the east-northeast (59°) and last for 3 minutes and 23 seconds. Sunrise is 31 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:04 am with sun in the east-northeast (66°). Tonight will have 8 hours and 53 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 16 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 66 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 5th. Light west wind becoming northwest 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph. That said, it should be a pretty nice day for working outside. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 81 degrees. The record high of 94 was set in 1918.

I am still thinking about heading up to the Adirondacks on Thursday bright and early ☀ before work and spending Thursday and Friday working up north and Saturday and Sunday recreating. Its only three nights camping so I could stay all weekend in that campsite that has the good cellphone 📱 reception 📶 for working. I got my fishing license tag in the mail today. 🎣 Now if they check I won’t have to pull it up on my phone.

In four weeks on June 28 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (303°) at 8:37 pm,🌄 which is 11 minutes and 15 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had hot, partly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 91 and 60 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 81 and 60 degrees. The record high of 99 degrees was set back in 1901.

Looking ahead, Strawberry Moon 🍓 is in 1 week and Fathers Day 👨 is in 2 weeks.
