Walls sweating??
 

OK...here's one I haven't read about yet. Read lots about the whole condensation thing on the windows and sill, but I just realized my concrete walls are sweating...on the outside!! Noticed it in my front lanai today, and thought it was the rain, but just went out back and felt the walls, and it's happening there too! We don't have the heat on (now), but did (much) earlier because we can't seem to keep the chill out. Anyone experiencing this?

Me too
 

Um.... I thought I was losing my mind today. I went out on the lanai by the summer kitchen and the walls were wet as was the tile on the summer kitchen counter. I looked up at the ceiling to see if we had a leak and we don't. Very strange.....

whew!! I thought the roof, too, this afternoon on the front lanai. But it looked fine, so I just ignored it. Now, it's out back. Weird... I guess these homes are just insulated very well. My friend down in Cape Coral said her windows, depending on what side of the home, had condensation on them these past few days also. I swear I never had that when I lived there!

there seemed to be a constant mist in the air for most of the day today.. just a thought

I have river rock on my lanai floor and it is soaking wet. Walked out there in stocking feet and came back in with dripping wet socks.

Our tile floors in our acrylic sliding door lanai are wet. Mom said she has noticed it for several days now. I called the aluminum company & the tile company; waiting for callbacks. Don't really think there's water coming in because it hasn't rained that hard. Then we thought maybe water is weeping from under the tiles. House is 6 years old, never happened before. Weird things happening in TV.

Thank you for your message. I thought I was losing my mind! I've lived (mostly) in Florida since 1983 and have never seen a house sweat. I don't know what else to call it. My long-winded husband gave me the reason for it but please -- don't ask me to explain it. I kind of get it; it has to do with the cold and combination of a few other things. Bottom line is none of us has a problem . . . OR . . .we're all in the same boat!

I would guess you nailed it. Our glass tables on the lanai are all misted wet.

Our windshield was sweating too when we drove to the Cincinnati Club. Sometimes we get very high humidity levels here in this part of the world.

Exactly! I've been here for 25 and have never seen such a thing! It really does take a bit for you to realize what you're seeing. Well, like you said...at least we're all experiencing the same things. Glad I wrote on here, I'd have puzzled over this for days.

how about how wet it is this morning?!

The floors under the covered portion of our cage are just as wet as the exposed areas.

The humidity must be over 100%, if that were possible, or is that called rain?

Dry Rain
 

In Seattle we call it dry rain.
The moisture in the air is so high that it condenses on any cool surface but nothing falling. If the surface is cooler than the air. Sometimes a mist so fine you don't notice it. I use to get it on my briefcase waiting for the bus. Seattle has it allot as we have fog or clouds at ground level in higher elevations most early mornings.

Seattle- 4 kinds of rain and 7 ways to order coffee.

i just checked the Weather Channel. We are at 100% humidity (causing all the wetness) but only 10% chance of rain today.

Checking to see if I have gills. You'll need 'em today. I bet it will slow down our golf ball too.


WOW....100%


And surfaces are cooler than the air. Bingo. Condensation. I sat in the front in science class.

It may be due to the quick change from very cold conditions to relatively warm and very moist conditions. Concrete and tile are still cold when the warm moist air arrives causing condensation. This applies to metal and glass surfaces as well.

slowly but ever so slowly lanai pool deck showing some signs of drying.......there is so much dampness my GFI for all the outdoor plugs has tripped and won't reset.....which means still to damp to allow power.

Unbelieveable!!
