Today in Barcaldine
- Very high UV index: 9.4 around 12:00. Stay in the shade between 11:00 and 17:00. Fair skin burns in about 21 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated
- Heat: up to 36.1 °C in the next three days (days at 30 °C or more over the next 14: 7). Night ventilation: open the windows between 21:00 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: 5. How it is calculated
- Airing the house between 14:00 and 17:00 is still the least bad option: a dew point of 10.7 °C means 55 % humidity once the air is warmed to 20 °C, barely better than the 50 % of a typical home. Five to ten minutes of through-draught is enough. The outdoor air stays damp enough for 3 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
- Washing outside: between 11:00 and 13:00. With 33 % humidity, 32.3 °C and wind at 11.7 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 2 h. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 0.6 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 14.3 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 8:00, while it is cool: allow about 14 L/m². How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 5 km/h, 26 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
- Starry sky between 22:00 and 3:00: 9 % average cloud cover tonight, 5 h of clear sky in a row, moon at 14 % (waning crescent). A good night to look up. How it is calculated
