Today in Whitney Pier
- Best time to air the house: tomorrow, around 8:00. The outdoor dew point drops to 0.4 °C; once warmed to 20 °C, that air holds only 27 % humidity, against 50 % in a typical home: opening the windows dries the house. How it is calculated
- Washing outside: allow about 5 h, hanging it out between 10:00 and 15:00. Air at 58 % humidity, 11.5 °C and wind at 18.7 km/h: it will dry, but not quickly. How it is calculated
- Ground frost possible tomorrow, around 20:00: the air falls to 1.4 °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 and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry but cool, 8 °C at 8 pm and wind at 12 km/h. Wrap up warm, or move indoors. How it is calculated
