Fort Lauderdale's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Fort Lauderdale's warmest month is August, at an average high of 90.7°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 59.6°F.

Highs stay at 80°F or more from March to November: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Lauderhill, 5 miles away, has 93 days a year at 90°F or more, more than Fort Lauderdale's 70.

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings

With 70 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.

Bathrooms and laundry rooms

In a place with 63 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.
