Today in Sheffield
- UV index of 7.8 around 13:00: seek shade between 12:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 25 minutes; use at least SPF 30, sunglasses and a hat. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: wind at 17 km/h, gusts up to 52 km/h. Lay the parasol flat and shelter the barbecue. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 13:00 and 16:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 0.5 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 27 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: between 13:00 and 16:00. With 32 % humidity, 17.9 °C and wind at 11.5 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 3 h. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 1.1 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 7.2 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 8:00, while it is cool: allow about 6 L/m². How it is calculated
