Day Length

Posted at 7:32 pm MDT to Weather

The days are noticeably shortening.

Sunrise is just after 6 am. This is helpful in one respect: Dinah does not try to get me to feed her breakfast before sunrise.

Sunset is earlier, too. Today it is supposed to be at 8:11 PM, but it feels darkish already. We are in the middle of the North American Monsoon and the skies are clouding up every afternoon.

Today is no exception. My satellite dish dropped out for a while at 6:20 PM because there was a thunderhead and heavy rain between my house and the satellite.

Even in the mornings, when the sky is clear, the air is positively damp, which feels very strange. The Farmers' Market was very uncomfortable today.
