Wilmington's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Wilmington's warmest month is July, at an average high of 84°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 23.8°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from July to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Camden, 27 miles away, has 40 days a year at 90°F or more, more than Wilmington's 17.

Living rooms on winter evenings
87 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 50.5 inches of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
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.
Room by room in Wilmington
The median home in Wilmington has 5.3 rooms, and the most common has 3 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street. In Camden, 27 miles away, the figure is 5.2 rooms.
16% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 60% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Camden, 27 miles away, 6% worked from home, fewer than here.
