Today's Weather Trivia:

May 21,2005: Heavy rainfall on the May long weekend caused rivers and lakes along Nova Scotia's south shore to flood. In Lunenburg, NS, swamped homes, closed bridges, and washed-away roads led to a state of emergency and numerous evacuations. The wettest May on record delayed crop planting 2 to 3 weeks. At Halifax, NS, only one day was above 18°C and over half the days had less than 1 hour of sun. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Sky Events:

• ISS(visible): No visible sightings for the next while because the ISS is passing over our area before sunset.
• Scorpius, the scorpion, is entering prime evening viewing time. Its brightest star, Antares, rises about an hour after sunset, with the scorpion's "stinger" following about an hour later. Look for bright orange Antares low in the southeast around 10 p.m. – [Star Date Online]

 

• AURORA (Northern Lights) WATCH: Low possibility of aurora activity tonight.
