Our tiled lanai floors are wet again. Ours is enclosed by acrylic sliders. We've had fog & high humidity before; also cold days followed by warm days. I wonder if Tom Terry of WFTV can give us a reason for all this happening this winter. On a funny note, the cats didn't like the wet floors--jumped from larger rug to rug by door; the one cat did enjoy licking the floor for a drink!

Yup!! Did it again yesterday!! Here's a new twist...my tub in
the guest room was damp on the outside and a few drops were on the floor!! Nothing to do about it as I see it. We've been mopping the lanais so the cats don't get wet paw prints all over, but like KittyKat's they jump from rug to rug when they can...it's hysterical. Oh, also, our golf cart was damp inside..quess we'll leave the sides up when it's in the garage from now on. Very strange...as I've said before, I'm in Florida 24years now and never saw anything like this.

My carport floor has been sweating since the temperature has risen

It's called dew point.When the temperature of the glass of ice water is at or below the wet bulb temp it will sweat.At 100% the dry bulb temp and wet bulb temps are the same. As the humidity lowers the dew point lowers. When our garage and lanai are colder than the dew point they will condense water vapor.

Very Wet Lanai Floor and Walls
 
Thank you all for your posts as I, along with others, thought I had a leak in the roof. Not only were my pavers in the lanai wet and the granite top of the summer kitchen wet but the outside walls were very damp to the extent I had beads of water on the underside of the stucco, which is exposed. I'm also thinking I may have had a bit more due to our pool being so close to that area. Thanks again for the great feedback. DJM
