Why this matters for exterior work
Exterior paint needs at least 4 hours above 5°C and dry conditions to cure properly. In Fife winter that often means a 5-hour window centred on noon.
Mowing is best after the morning dew has lifted (typically 90 minutes after sunrise) and before the evening dew falls (about 45 minutes before sunset).
Jet washing wants the surface to dry off before nightfall — start within the first half of the work window.
