Today in Cardston
- Best time to air the house: between 21:00 and 23:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −9.7 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 13 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: allow about 8 h, hanging it out between 11:00 and 19:00. Air at 46 % humidity, 7 °C and wind at 15.3 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Frost between 6:00 and 10:00: low of −2.9 °C around 6:00, with 15 h below freezing. Bring in or cover tender plants (horticultural fleece) and empty the watering cans. How it is calculated
- Terrace between 18:00 and 23:00: 1 °C at 8 pm. Too cold to eat outside; the barbecue will have to wait. How it is calculated
