Today in Cedar
- No washing outside today: the air is too cold or too damp to dry anything before evening (maximum drying power of 8.2 hPa per hour). How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: rain likely (0.4 mm, up to 8 % chance). Have some shelter or a plan B ready. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 21:00 and 23:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 1.1 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 28 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
