Now. Golovin Airport is 34° and overcast at 10 PM. With the wind it feels like 26°. The dew point is 27°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Gentle breeze from the north at 10 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 28° by 7 AM, under cloud. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Sunday, near 36°, and the coolest Wednesday, near 32°. The days ahead look dry. The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 24°.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 27% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the east-southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. The Orionids meteor shower is active, peaking around Oct 21: at its peak, up to about 20 meteors an hour can be seen from a dark site. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 9 hours 49 minutes long, 7 minutes shorter than yesterday.
