Keep an Eye on the Outdoors

Bird watchers will be delighted too, as migratory species abound!
What to Watch Out For
On the flip side, it’s also important to stay cautious. Even if the sun shines bright, colder temperatures can create a wind chill that makes it feel 5-10°F colder than it actually is. If you’re sensitive to chill, don’t forget your hats and scarves! For our four-legged friends, providing a warm shelter is a must, especially for those cooler nights ahead.
Evening Wrap-Up
As the day wraps up, expect the sun to set around 5:20 PM. If stargazing makes your evening plans, you’ll be in luck with excellent visibility once the sun goes down! Just remember to be warm and cozy while you take in the night sky.
