How do you deal with water condensation on the windows?
(lemmy.world)
Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?
It works even if it's rainy outside. The relevant factor is temperature. Warm air traps much more humidity than the cold air outside - even if it might feel humid there. When we open the windows our saturated warm air gehts switched with saturated cold air, which then warms up inside and increases it's capacity to absorb humidity in turn.
As long as it's colder outside than inside ventilation will get rid of a room's humidity.
5-10 minutes is perfect: It allows for a significant air change and doesn't cool down the room (floor, walls, furniture) too much, so as soon as you close the windows again the temperature can quickly rise and allow for the desired dehumidification.
Thanks for the correction. :)
