Garages follow the seasons with lag and damping. Unconditioned bays track outdoor extremes more closely in winter and lag behind peak summer heat when insulation and thermal mass buffer swings. Long history makes those rhythms obvious.
Winter freeze risk
Pipes and chemicals care about sustained lows, not a single cold hour. Review weekly minimums in the dashboard history rather than glancing at noon readings. Pair with freeze protection thresholds for actionable cutoffs.
Summer heat storage
- Afternoon peaks often arrive after outdoor highs when sun load dominates.
- Overnight cooling may stall if the bay never fully purges hot air.
- Humidity can climb when warm air holds more moisture near stored goods.
