Two Areas Of Interest For National Hurricane Center

The tropics are heating up… the National Hurricane Center is watching twin interest areas on either side of Mexico - one in the Eastern Pacific basin and one in the Bay of Campeche. The development chances are steadily increasing for each interest area, but the area of low pressure south of Mexico's southeast coast is looking the most likely for development this weekend. No direct impacts from either potential system are expected for the United States, but the Pacific system could bring a shot of moisture to the Southwest next week. Here's what you need to know.

Warm and breezy at times across South Florida

After a warm and muggy start to the day on Tuesday, which saw a few passing showers, it will become breezy at times in the afternoon as highs climb to the upper 80s. Storms will push inland as the sea breeze builds. There is a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches. There are no advisories for boaters along the Atlantic waters and the Keys waters. The chance of rain rises on Wednesday and Thursday due to an upper level low pressure system that will enhance instability and bring plenty of moisture to South Florida. Scattered to widespread showers and storms will be possible with the potential for heavy downpours, localized flooding and slight chance of hail. Friday we remain unsettled with some showers and storms still possible. Over the weekend, highs will climb to 90 degrees and the chance of rain will be more seasonable.

How can we prevent damp in our home?

We're having a problem with damp appearing on the interior walls of our small office. The office is at the back of the house and when it gets cold outside, we start having damp marks appear on the walls of the office in the corner. Would this have to do with the exterior wall or insulation problems? What will we need to do stop this from happening? Damp or moisture on the face of your internal walls can be caused by several factors. It may be water ingress due to penetration; it may be rising damp, although the latter is incredibly rare and often misdiagnosed; or it could be condensation. Your description, and the fact that this manifests when it's cold, suggests that the damp your experiencing is condensation. Condensation forms when warm, moist air inside the office hits a cold surface, such as an inadequately insulated wall, and water droplets form. Over time, this can soak into the wall, leading to damp patches. Corners of rooms are particularly vulnerable because they tend to be colder due to reduced air circulation. Yes, insulating your walls may be the solution but before you start spending money and applying for grants, I think you should consider a few things. Is there a bathroom with shower, kitchen or other room that may generate high levels of moisture linked directly to the room? If so, ensure that the door remains closed to prevent moisture travelling into the office or other rooms. READ MORE Often, we shower and leave the bathroom door open during or after, allowing moisture to migrate all over the house and affect fabric. Close all doors over a series of weeks and observe. Remember the room must be allowed to dry out first. If condensation continues, then you move to the next low-cost option. Is there a vent in the room, like a hole in the wall? If yes, check that it is fully open to allow air flow. Often these are blocked or the shutter is closed. If no, consider installing a vent. It is important to note that often you will see a vent in the wall and there is black speckling (condensation) over it or around it. This is because a passive vent was simply not good enough to deal with the problem of moisture. Why? Well, that would take more investigation, but consider putting in a mechanical extract vent. When moisture builds up, this activates, pulling moisture out of the room. It's money out but is a small disruption and may be the solution. In either scenario above, its important to ensure the room is adequately heated. There are many solutions, but a suitable one is key.
