Ceiling Fan Tip – and Other Hot Weather Tips

Your web guy just returned from Utah, where the temps were a bit over 100F. It’s nice to be here where it is a bit cooler. But the weather lately here has been warmer than usual, so an 80+F degree day might start to feel warm.

I always forget which way the ceiling fan needs to turn during the summer. (A bit of air movement will help you feel cooler.) So here’s a reminder:

“During the summer you want the fan to blow air straight down, so your ceiling fan needs to run in a counter clockwise direction (as you look up at it). The warmer it is, the higher the speed should be. During the winter, your fan should run at a low speed in a clockwise direction.”

If you don’t have a ceiling fan in your house, any fan that moves the air around will help you feel cooler. Keeping the west-facing window shades down will help also (if the sun hits those windows directly). Opening up windows in the morning before hit gets hot helps cool down the house. Watch the temperature outside: when it hits about 70-ish, you should consider closing up things.

Keep hydrated: a pitcher of ice water with lemon slices can be refreshing. And don’t forget to keep the water dish filled for your furry friends. (Try not to take them with you in your car on hot days – temps inside the car can warm up very fast, even after a few minutes in a parking lot.)
