Over the past decade, the average high temperature on May 25 was 68.5ºF/20.3ºC and the average low was 36.1ºF/2.3ºC. It has only rained once on May 25 in the last 50 years and the measured amount was 0.03 in / 0.76 mm.
The sun will rise at 05:16 and set at 19:32 giving 14 hours and 16 minutes of daylight, plus another 58 minutes of civil twilight, making for a Mega-day of geocaching.
Odds are it’s going to be an amazing day.
