Today in Rossland
- No washing outside today: the air is too cold or too damp to dry anything before evening (maximum drying power of 9.5 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 −5.8 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 17 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Ground frost possible around 7:00: the air falls to 0.6 °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
