Today in Daylesford
- Very high UV index: 8.4 around 14:00. Stay in the shade between 12:00 and 19:00. Fair skin burns in about 24 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 14:00 and 17:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 3.5 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 34 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: allow about 6 h, hanging it out between 12:00 and 18:00. Air at 56 % humidity, 12.3 °C and wind at 11.7 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Garden: 2.7 mm of rain expected against a need of 6.1 mm over 48 h. Top up tomorrow, between 6:00 and 9:00 with about 3 L/m² on the thirstiest crops. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry but cool, 10 °C at 8 pm and wind at 11 km/h. Wrap up warm, or move indoors. How it is calculated
- Starry sky between 22:00 and 3:00: 17 % 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
