By Paul Douglas According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with nearly 6 million American adults being treated each year.

What can you do to reduce your risk? Wear long sleeves and spend time in the shade.

By Paul Douglas Hello. Can anyone tell me what month it is again? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Average high temps in the Twin Cities for early to mid-May are generally in the mid to upper 60s, but we're about a month ahead of schedule today with highs in the upper 70s. It gets downright hot (for Minnesotans) on Sunday and into early next week with readings jumping up close to 90 degrees, which will feel more like a midsummer night's dream.

By Paul Douglas We could be in for another summer with air quality concerns. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency meteorologists released their summer air quality forecast on Wednesday. They anticipate four to seven days with air unhealthy for sensitive groups, when an average season would record two to four. There could also be 12 to 16 days when our air could be impacted by wildfire smoke, similar to what we saw last year.

By Paul Douglas Believe it or not, we're only 45 days away from the summer solstice. Between now and then, we'll gain another hour or so of daylight, bringing us to almost 15 hours and 40 minutes of daylight in the metro. Spring peeper frogs are getting noisier by the night, and your backyard tweety birds are busy tending eggs in their nests. Spring is off to a slower start in the northeast part of the state, however.
