Today in Grand Forks
- No washing outside today: the air is too cold or too damp to dry anything before evening (maximum drying power of 13.5 hPa per hour). How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 6:00 and 8:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −6.3 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 16 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Ground frost possible around 5:00: the air falls to 0.4 °C under a clear sky with little wind, and the ground, colder than the air, may freeze. Cover seedlings and sensitive plants this evening. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry but cool, 6 °C at 8 pm and wind at 5 km/h. Wrap up warm, or move indoors. How it is calculated
