Today in Tolga
- Very high UV index: 9.6 around 12:00. Stay in the shade between 11:00 and 15:00. Fair skin burns in about 21 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated
- Airing the house tomorrow, around 10:00 is still the least bad option: a dew point of 10.4 °C means 54 % humidity once the air is warmed to 20 °C, barely better than the 50 % of a typical home. Five to ten minutes of through-draught is enough. 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 38 % humidity, 30.3 °C and wind at 5.7 km/h, a load of cotton washing dries in about 2 h. How it is calculated
- Heat: up to 32.6 °C in the next three days (days at 30 °C or more over the next 14: 5). Night ventilation: open the windows between 19:00 and 9:00, as soon as the outside air drops below 26 °C, and close windows and shutters again in the morning. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 8 km/h, 23 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
