Today in Galiwinku
- 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
- Today, opening the windows adds moisture rather than removing it: even at its lowest (tomorrow, between 9:00 and 11:00), the dew point stays at 21.9 °C, above 11 °C, and that air warmed to 20 °C would reach 112 % 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 34.3 °C in the next three days (days at 30 °C or more over the next 14: 7). The air does not drop below 26 °C in the next 48 hours: ventilating at night will not cool the house. Keep shutters closed by day, and drink regularly. 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 57 % humidity, 32.8 °C and wind at 12.2 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 2 h. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 0.1 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 11.5 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 8:00, while it is cool: allow about 11 L/m². How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 8 km/h, 27 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
