How humid is the room in which the freezer will be kept?
Cellars tend to be humid. Warm summer air can hold more
moisture than cold winter air. Opening the lid in a humid
cellar in the summertime will increase the need to defrost.

Cold cellars tend to have a high humidity level, largely because they
are cold. For the freezer it's the absolute moisture level, not the RH,
that counts - to be exact the amount that will freeze out at minus
whateveritis you set it at.

Yes, warmer air can hold more moisture than colder air.
I believe I already typed that.

Warm, humid cellar in summer? Never met the beast.

Unless the cellar is deep underground, cellars still
will be warmer in summer and colder in winter.

Surely you don't mean what you wrote.

Nothing wrong with what he wrote, the temperature of the
cellar will indeed vary like that unless it is deep underground.

I guess it's a question of "compared to what?"

Its obvious he meant compared with those other seasons.

-- I took him to mean that cellars will be warmer in summer,
and cooler in winter, than other parts of the house.

More fool you.

If he meant that the cellar is warmer in summer than the cellar is in winter, yes, that's obviously true.

And thats clearly what he meant given the context that you deleted from the quoting and I have restored.
