Today in Lakefield
- Best time to air the house: around 8:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −1.1 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 24 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: allow about 6 h, hanging it out between 10:00 and 16:00. Air at 62 % humidity, 11.8 °C and wind at 4.8 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Garden: 9 mm of rain expected within 48 h, against a need of 2.1 mm. No need to water, the rain will do it. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 6 km/h, 12 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
