I have a fan in my closet to circulate air in summer months but it obviously hasn’t helped. Any suggestions to address this issue appreciated.
You should have a supply air outlet in the closet. If so, check to make there is air coming through the outlet. If you leave the closet door closed, you may want want to replace the door with a louvered door. Also, I would suggest that you buy a 10 dollar device from Home Depot that will measure the temperature and humidity in the closet.
