Airports/California/San Martin Airport
Now. San Martin Airport is 73° and clear at 8 PM. The dew point is 38°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. The air is calm.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 54° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Saturday, near 96°, and the coolest Tuesday, near 68°. Rain is possible Tuesday (39%). Tomorrow is hot, 95°: heat is a danger to anyone outdoors for long.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and sets at 9:43 PM. 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. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 17 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
