Today in Winchelsea
- Very high UV index: 8.2 around 14:00. 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
- Best time to air the house: between 12:00 and 15:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 6.3 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 41 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: allow about 5 h, hanging it out between 12:00 and 17:00. Air at 59 % humidity, 14.6 °C and wind at 16.6 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Garden: 8.4 mm of rain expected within 48 h, against a need of 5.6 mm. No need to water, the rain will do it. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry but cool, 11 °C at 8 pm and wind at 11 km/h. Wrap up warm, or move indoors. How it is calculated
