Today in Arviat
- No washing outside today: the air is too cold or too damp to dry anything before evening (maximum drying power of 2.6 hPa per hour). How it is calculated
- Hard frost between 14:00 and 19:00: −4.6 °C around 8:00. Protect pots, pipes and outdoor taps; fleece is not enough for the most tender plants, so bring them indoors. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: tomorrow, around 6:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −5.4 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 18 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Terrace between 18:00 and 23:00: -4 °C at 8 pm. Too cold to eat outside; the barbecue will have to wait. How it is calculated
