Very high UV index: 8.3 around 13:00. Stay in the shade between 12:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 24 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated

Washing outside: allow about 6 h, hanging it out between 12:00 and 18:00. Air at 57 % humidity, 15.5 °C and wind at 13.2 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 9 km/h, 13 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
