Today in Macksville
- Very high UV index: 8.8 around 13:00. Stay in the shade between 12:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 23 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated
- Airing the house tomorrow, between 6:00 and 8:00 is still the least bad option: a dew point of 10.4 °C means 54 % 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 12:00 and 15:00. With 44 % humidity, 26.5 °C and wind at 9.5 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 3 h. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 0 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 10 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 8:00, while it is cool: allow about 10 L/m². How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 13 km/h, 18 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
- Starry sky between 22:00 and 5:00: 0 % average cloud cover tonight, 7 h of clear sky in a row, moon at 14 % (waning crescent). A good night to look up. How it is calculated
