It’s strange how much rain we’ve been getting lately despite it being January.
Typically the temperature is cold and dry right now, although I live in the southern area of the USA.
Every one of us might not get cold hot and cold temperatures or snow, however both of us still experience our form of a Wintertide season. The lows only get down to the 40s, however the highs rarely jump above 72 degrees on the warmest afternoons. That’s why I’m confused by all of this Wintertide rain as of late. Every one of us got three inches of rainfall yupterday, and tomorrow we’re supposed to get even more. There are consistently concerns associated with rainstorms that frustrate myself and others as well. I have to make sure our gutters are cleared otherwise I risk rainwater leaking into our attic. On top of that, the rain storms produce a lot of mud. Occasionally this mud gets all over outside surfaces, especially when it splashes onto our stone walkway leading from our front door to our driveway. I l received recently that occasionally heavy rainfall pushes mud into the condensate lines for air conditioners. The small PVC pipe carries the waste water from your air conditioner from the air handler inside to the ground outdoors. The opening to the pipe is rarely more than a few inches above the ground. I have l received to wash our condensate line after heavy rain storms to clear away any mud that could have gotten into the opening outside. I don’t want the dirt building up and blocking the flow of water. That would risk a catastrophic flood inside the house.
