Strong sun and coastal air
NOAA storm records for Humboldt County list 5 hail reports (the largest 0.25 inches across) and 4 thunderstorm wind reports from 2020 through 2024.
Strong sun dries out gaskets and sealant on south and west walls, and near the coast, salt air pits aluminum and seizes sliding door rollers.
