Today in Igloolik
- Severe frost between 8:00 and 20:00: −10.1 °C around 18:00. Drain outdoor water lines, bring in all potted plants and mulch thickly around the base of shrubs. How it is calculated
- No washing outside today: the air is too cold or too damp to dry anything before evening (maximum drying power of 2.5 hPa per hour). How it is calculated
- Black ice likely tomorrow, around 17:00: rain or drizzle falling on ground close to freezing (1 h affected). Roads, pavements and windscreens can ice over within minutes; slow down. How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 20:00 and 23:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −12.1 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 10 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Terrace between 18:00 and 23:00: -10 °C at 8 pm. Too cold to eat outside; the barbecue will have to wait. How it is calculated
