Airports/California/Hanford Municipal Airport
Now. Hanford Municipal Airport is 66° and clear at 10 PM. The dew point is 39°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the west at 4 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 51° by 7 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. Air quality is moderate (index 82): fine for most people, though people unusually sensitive to air pollution may feel it outdoors.
The week. The warmest day ahead is Saturday, near 89°, and the coolest Wednesday, near 68°. Rain is possible Tuesday (38%) and Wednesday (31%).
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 26% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. Look for Saturn, bright in the 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 18 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
As of 10:00 PM in Hanford Municipal Airport, California.
