Chatham-Kent's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Chatham-Kent's warmest month is July, at an average high of 27.2 °C, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of −8.2 °C.

Highs stay at 25 °C or more from June to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Lakeshore, 50 km away, has 33 days a year at 30 °C or more, more than Chatham-Kent's 15.

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings

With 15 days a year at 30 °C 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.

Living rooms on winter evenings

132 nights a year fall at or below 0 °C. 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.

Street-facing rooms

76% 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.
