Today in Aurukun
- Very high UV index: 9.3 around 13:00. Stay in the shade between 11:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 22 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated
- Today, opening the windows adds moisture rather than removing it: even at its lowest (between 12:00 and 15:00), the dew point stays at 14.4 °C, above 11 °C, and that air warmed to 20 °C would reach 70 % humidity. Air the house for five minutes at that time, no more. The outdoor air stays damp enough for 5 days in a row to push indoor humidity above 60 %, the level at which dust mites thrive: keep an eye on rooms with no draught. How it is calculated
- Heat: up to 36.5 °C in the next three days (days at 30 °C or more over the next 14: 7). Night ventilation: open the windows between 22:00 and 8:00, as soon as the outside air drops below 26 °C, and close windows and shutters again in the morning. Nights at 20 °C or more over the next 14 days: 7. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: between 11:00 and 13:00. With 33 % humidity, 33.8 °C and wind at 9.2 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 2 h. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 0.4 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 12.4 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 8:00, while it is cool: allow about 12 L/m². How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 5 km/h, 27 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
