You have your paints stirred and rollers ready. Your sundries lay on the ground. You go outside to finally give your home exteriors the makeover you’ve wanted for so long, but then you notice overcast clouds begin to hover in the sky. Just a few minutes later, rain starts to pour.
It is November and the start of the Amihan season, which signals the start of the dry season. Some advice you may have heard or read online says that the cool weather brought by the northeast monsoon during this period is the best time to do exterior painting projects, in order to avoid working in sweltering temperatures.
In reality, rain has become a constant part of our lives, and weather has become too unpredictable to simply rely on that age-old advice. Fortunately, there are ways to materialize your dream makeover for your exteriors without worrying if sudden rain would ruin your efforts.
When Is It Really the Best Time to Renovate Exteriors?
Depending on the extent of the renovation for your exteriors, you want to schedule your projects in months where rainfall occurs the least. This means having your painting sessions take place between the months of February and April, months where there is a decreased chance of sudden downpours occurring.
As a rule of thumb, check for daily weather forecasts from our trusted meteorologists to know if a day permits you to do your outdoor project. If you push through with your project in wet weather, you risk your efforts being washed away. At best, the paint you put on your exterior walls will dry slowly.
Stick to doing your projects during seasons with low humidity and little to no chance of rain. With preparation and timing, you ensure the paint you apply cures properly, bringing out the best of the products you are using.
