I know we all love the feeling of that cool air after a storm, but this is the absolute worst time to open up your doors and windows. Doing so will introduce extremely high levels of humidity into the home. This humidity gets absorbed into carpets, draperies, bedding, clothes, etc. When you fire your air conditioning back up later, it is going to work extra hard for the next 24-48 hours to remove all the added humidity in the house. Yes, it takes that long to return your home's humidity to normal. This extra work will significantly increase your energy bills. So if you want to enjoy that cool monsoon air, go outside and have dinner on the patio, don't completely open up your house.
