For the first time in more than 225 days, the sun is now setting past 7:30p.m.! It's another sure-fire sign that warmer days are almost here to stay.
We have not seen a sunset this late since the end of August last year. Now, we keep these later sunsets going for the next four months.
For those who enjoy even later daylight hours, this is only the beginning. With each passing week, we're going to gain about another eight minutes of evening daylight per week. Check out these upcoming sunset times:
As you can see, we only have four more Saturdays to go until the sun sets beyond 8:00p.m.
With many area beer gardens opening for the season--as well as golf courses--the timing could not be any better. All we need now is for the weather to warm up.
And peeking ahead into the future, that piece of the puzzle might be about to fall into place. Longer range data is suggesting there could be a significant warming trend on the way to southeastern Wisconsin for the final week of April. We're talking multiple days with highs in the 70s.
Enjoy the late evening sunshine and start gearing up for that warmth!
