Today in Sandford
- UV index of 7.7 around 13:00: seek shade between 12:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 26 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 3.4 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 33 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: allow about 6 h, hanging it out between 12:00 and 18:00. Air at 59 % humidity, 15.8 °C and wind at 13.3 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 1.1 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 7.1 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 8:00, while it is cool: allow about 6 L/m². How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 11 km/h, 14 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
