Today in Jabiru
- Very high UV index: 9.5 around 12:00. Stay in the shade between 11:00 and 16:00. 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 (between 15:00 and 18:00), the dew point stays at 18.1 °C, above 11 °C, and that air warmed to 20 °C would reach 89 % 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 39.4 °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
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: rain likely (1.1 mm, up to 73 % chance). Have some shelter or a plan B ready. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: between 11:00 and 13:00. With 37 % humidity, 36.1 °C and wind at 3.4 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 2 h. How it is calculated
- Garden: 2.1 mm of rain expected against a need of 12.6 mm over 48 h. Top up tomorrow, between 6:00 and 9:00 with about 10 L/m² on the thirstiest crops. How it is calculated
