San Antonio's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. San Antonio's warmest month is August, at an average high of 95.3°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 40.2°F.

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

New Braunfels, 30 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (117).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings

With 112 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.

Bedroom shutters

Street-facing rooms

59% 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.

Bathrooms and laundry rooms

In a place with 34 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.
