Today in Sunshine Beach
- Very high UV index: 9.2 around 12:00. Stay in the shade between 11:00 and 17:00. Fair skin burns in about 22 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 11:00 and 13:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 7.9 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 46 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. The outdoor air stays damp enough for 5 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 11:00 and 13:00. With 22 % humidity, 32.7 °C and wind at 9.3 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 2 h. How it is calculated
- Heat: up to 33.3 °C in the next three days (days at 30 °C or more over the next 14: 1). Night ventilation: open the windows between 19:00 and 10:00, as soon as the outside air drops below 26 °C, and close windows and shutters again in the morning. Nights at 20 °C or more over the next 14 days: 2. How it is calculated
- Garden: barely 0.3 mm of rain in 48 h against a need of about 12.5 mm. Water tomorrow, between 5:00 and 7:00, while it is cool: allow about 12 L/m². How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 12 km/h, 24 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
- Starry sky between 22:00 and 3:00: 16 % average cloud cover tonight, 5 h of clear sky in a row, moon at 14 % (waning crescent). A good night to look up. How it is calculated
