Macon Georgia, Houston Texas, Mobile Alabama.......

All across the region that NREL classifies as Humid-Semitropical, the
number of weeks varies with each location, but the number of weeks where
outdoor humidity is LOWER than indoor humidity is small, maybe 3 maybe 6
maybe 12.

Would you have any evidence for this your present vague article of faith?

The average humidity ratio is less than 0.0092 pounds of water per pound
of dry air from October through April in Macon. How many weeks is that
in your little ol' Texas town? :-)

come spend a summer down here...maybe then you will know what you are
talking about.



AMEN TO THIS BROTHER.

Nick is sitting at a balmy 72F while I am at 93F, Macon is 90F, Mobile
is 88F, Atlanta is 89F

Nick and Mobile are tied for highest humidity at about 55% currently,
the rest of us are in the 30% to 45% range.

Nick is like many in a university setting, they are isolated from the
rest of the world and have little idea what problems are being faced
elsewhere. And like many in an ivory tower setting, it is difficult for
them to believe that anyone knows more than they do. Nick has shown
this to us with nearly EVERY comment he makes. No one is infallible,
everyone makes some mistakes from time to time, yet Nick appears to want
to SMASH your face in with nearly every comment.

The message to Nick is that the world is NOT a copy of what he sees in
Pennsylvania, things that will work well in Villanova may not work even
in upstate NY (i.e Buffalo)


And for Nick's benefit, ALL the cities mentioned here have very high
humidities at night in particular. Residents will avoid bringing in
night time air if at all possible as that time is when the RH climbs
towards saturation (80-100%)

My parent's house in North Carolina was far enough into the hills that
after 10PM, the air temp and humidity dropped off enough that a whole
house fan could dump alot of excess heat outside
