Good morning! An absolutely beautiful Memorial Day Weekend ! Best since 2013 if you like cold and rainy days. Three weeks to Average High is 80 🏖 . Rain and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. 💦 There is a north breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear Monday around 9 pm.
Today will be periods of rain, mainly before 1pm, then a chance of showers after 2pm. 🌧 High of 53 degrees at 5pm. 22 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 4th. Maximum dew point of 42 at 10am. 🏖️ North wind 8 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. It was sticky. The high last year was 89 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1931.
This afternoon I’m heading into the city to keep working on drying out Mr. Wolcott’s files 📂. It seems like we saved most of the important ones although many of the lost ones were ones I hadn’t ever seen before. It’s so important to store files electronically these days and have off site backups of anything important as anything that is physical and important to you is disposable and prone to lost. Outside of memories the best way to preserve things is electronically these days with storage so cheap. 💾 So much is lost in disasters and even just on disorganized papers.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:54 pm with sun having an altitude of 69.1° from the due south horizon (-1.8° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.3 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:43 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (294°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (301°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:25 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 22 seconds with dusk around 8:58 pm, which is 51 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:42 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 51 degrees. There will be a northeast breeze at 7 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 2 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 26 seconds over yesterday.

Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 4th. North wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2020, we had thunderstorm in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It was somewhat humid. It got down to 58 degrees. The record low of 33 occurred back in 1967.
I am thinking as soon as Friday morning next week before work ⛺ to get up to the Adirondacks and remote work 💻 Friday and Monday up there. Maybe Piseco-Powley Road but no cell service there so that won’t work for remote working.
As previously noted, next Saturday is 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ when the sun will be setting at 8:29 pm with dusk at 9:03 pm. On that day in 2020, we had humid, partly sunny, warm, thunderstorm and temperatures between 85 and 71 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 77 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1925.
