Now. Kings Canyon National Park is 34° and clear at 1 AM. The dew point is 14°, so the air feels dry and comfortable. Light air from the south-southwest at 3 mph.
Today and tonight. It warms to about 51° by 1 PM. Tonight falls to about 29° by 5 AM, under a mostly clear sky. A freeze: protect plants and pipes. No rain is expected for the rest of the day. The sun is strong around midday: UV index 7, high. Unprotected skin can burn in under half an hour.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 49°, and the coolest Thursday, near 36°. Rain is likely Wednesday (85%) and Thursday (78%). The first freeze could come tomorrow, a low of 24°.
The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:13 PM. The Moon is a waxing gibbous, 62% lit, and sets at 1:26 AM after midnight. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. After dark, 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 bright Moon hides all but the brightest of them. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 9 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
