Dry air through all of the seasons
One of the entirely bad things about residing in a desert environment is the dry air. I was raised in a more tropical weather conditions, so I had a lot of increasing to do when making the move. When my fiance & I married, I moved into his home, which is the house all of us currently live in. There are a few things I have l received from residing in these dry areas, and one is to always carry lip balm, lip balm is pressing, because dry air is fantastic at chapping your lips. The second is to have hand lotion, for similar reasons. Third is cough drops, because the dry air will also start to burn your throat. Last, buy a humidifier. While I would say the dry air is fair for the most part, there are some times, mainly during a dry spell without rain, when the dry air becomes too much & it’s time to turn on the nice ole humidifier. My fiance had already purchased one, & so bringing it out to mist the air was a fantastic relief. When the humidity drops to about 20%, that is usually the time all of us take the humidifier out, & after that I stop it once it reaches around 40%-50%. Thankfully, all of us don’t have to use the humidifier too often, because once the air humidity has reached a nice level, then it stays that way for a while, until the sun evaporates it. I personally enjoy my former tropical weather conditions, although residing in these arid areas isn’tso bad after you get used to it.
