San Marcos's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. San Marcos's warmest month is August, at an average high of 89°F, and its coldest nights come in December, at an average low of 43.8°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from June to October: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Vista, 6 miles away, has 19 days a year at 90°F or more, fewer than San Marcos's 54.

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 54 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Street-facing rooms
52% of homes are detached houses, where front rooms face the street. Tier-on-tier panels let you close the lower half for privacy and open the top for daylight.
Children’s rooms
Shutters have no cords. In Canada, corded window coverings have been regulated since May 1, 2021, and in the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission tells families to choose cordless window coverings.
| Feature | What matters | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Darkness, privacy, airflow | Full-height panels, 3½ or 4½ in louvers |
| Living room | View, daylight, glare | Wide louvers, or tier-on-tier on the street side |
| Kitchen | A wipe-clean finish | Painted poplar, café style over the sink |
| Bathroom | Steam and privacy | Painted poplar with a fan, out of shower spray |
