Today in Maple Bay
- No washing outside today: the air is too cold or too damp to dry anything before evening (maximum drying power of 9.4 hPa per hour). How it is calculated
- Best time to air the house: between 19:00 and 22:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −3.9 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 20 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry but cool, 7 °C at 8 pm and wind at 5 km/h. Wrap up warm, or move indoors. How it is calculated
