Nothing, nothing at all 🤣
Woman hits man with her car, slams into Houston homeFort Bend County Judge KP George accused in fake social profile case to influence election– Ahhhh, the first day of fall. When the leaves change color, temperatures cool and we can order a pumpkin spiced latte that warms our hands as well as our hearts... But not in. We’re looking at highs in Houston in the 90s through the upcoming week.
It’s important we understand what the first day of fall really means. The autumnal equinox has nothing to do with temperatures. It has everything to do with the Earth/sun relationship. Sunday morning Sept. 22, at 7:44 a.m. the sun’s direct rays will hit the equator. This is an instant in time which occurs worldwide when the sun is directly over the equator. This is the fall equinox. The word equinox comes from Latin and means “equal night.” In Houston we don’t get a perfect 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night on this day, but it’s close. Sunrise is at 7:10 and sunset is 7:17. What is cool about Sunday is the sun rises east and sets due west.
The sun is not a point in the sky, it’s a disk. The scientific definition for the time of sunrise, as defined by the United States Naval Observatory, is when the top edge of the Sun is first visible . Similarly, the definition of sunset is when the top edge drops below the horizon. This difference gives us 2-3 minutes more sunlight each day. The atmosphere also refracts or bends sunlight, making the Sun appear on the horizon while it is still physically below the horizon.
The equilux is the day closest to equal day and night. That day this year in Houston is Sept. 26, when the sun is above the horizon for 11 hours, 59 minutes and 56 seconds.We hit a record high temperature on Thursday making it to 98° at the heat of the day. The previous record was 97° from 1995. So will we ever cool down? YES. Fall brings shorter days. In one and two months our daylight will drop by an hour. Not as much sun will translate to cooler temperatures.
