Today in Nicholson
- No washing outside today: rain, or a risk of rain, covers the hours when it could dry. How it is calculated
- UV index of 7.3 around 15:00: seek shade between 12:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 27 minutes; use at least SPF 30, sunglasses and a hat. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 21:00 and 23:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 5.3 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 38 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Garden: 11.2 mm of rain expected within 48 h, against a need of 7.5 mm. No need to water, the rain will do it. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 9 km/h, 12 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
- Starry sky between 22:00 and 5:00: 1 % 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
