Silver Spring's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Silver Spring's warmest month is July, at an average high of 87.1°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 25.3°F.

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

Wheaton, 4 miles away, has 23 days a year at 90°F or more, fewer than Silver Spring's 30.

Living rooms on winter evenings

95 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 47 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.

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings

With 30 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.
