what direction should fan run in summertime
image via Emerson. On hot sticky summer days nothing can beat the breeze you feel from a ceiling fan. (Trust me I should know I live in Florida) A ceiling fanâs direction in the summer should be rotating counter clockwise or forward to produce a Wind Chill effect by the downward airflow. The thermostat wonât actually change but the room will seem several degrees cooler due to the wind chill factor.
