3. How Does Summer Encourage Mold Growth? • Here are key elements that contribute to mold occurrence during warmer months. • High Humidity And Warm Temperatures • Warm air contains excess moisture. When humid air enters the home through windows, it increases humidity and moisture levels which causes mold. Summer temperatures fall within 25 to 30 degree Celsius. It is an ideal temperature range for mold occurrence. • Inadequate Ventilation • Inadequately ventilated homes trap moisture and provide a breeding ground for mold spores. Kitchens and bathrooms where water is used frequently require exhaustive fans to drive away moisture-laden air.

4. Common Areas For Summer Mold Growth • Excess moisture and inadequate ventilation are the typical sources of mold growth during the summer. Apart from this, let’s find where mold can be commonly seen. • Basement, Attics, And Crawl Space • These areas are prone to dampness and poor ventilation which cause mold growth. The poor insulation in attics leads to condensation and mold happenings. • Bathrooms • Because of showers and baths, there remains high humidity in the bathroom. Along with this, a lack of proper ventilation in the bathroom can cause mold.

5. Mold Exposure’s Health Risks • Mold becomes airborne during the Summer and it is easy to inhale. This can threaten health conditions, ranging from mild allergic symptoms to severe illness. The severity of these symptoms varies based on the type of mold and extent of exposure.
