Today in Pincher Creek
- Best time to air the house: between 20:00 and 23:00. The outdoor dew point drops to −9 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 13 % 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 45 % humidity, 4.9 °C and wind at 15.3 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Ground frost possible around 8:00: 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 between 18:00 and 23:00: 3 °C at 8 pm. Too cold to eat outside; the barbecue will have to wait. How it is calculated
