This time of year, the days are warm, but the nights are cool. I am so glad I invested in replacement windows that I can open. When the outside air is cooler than the inside temperature, I open the windows so the breeze can blow through and cool off the house. I like the fresh air, and it saves on utilities. I am not sure the windows have paid for themselves (I had aluminum storm windows over the casement windows. They were inexpensive to install compared to replacement windows, but helped with noise and insulation, just like the replacement windows.)
But I like the fresh air blowing. I supplement it with ceiling fans. So the house cools off deliciously nicely this time of year.
I close most of the windows, but leave the bedroom windows locked open just a few inches. Last night, we had a shower. It must have been a light shower: I did not hear it, and it did not rain into my bedroom. It has rained into my bedroom, sometimes, when the rain gets hard enough.
So, I am glad I can open the windows of my house at this time of day, this time of year.
