What the Casper climate does to a house
Measured at NOAA's Casper weather station.
- At the NOAA Casper station, mornings average 65 percent relative humidity across the year, and afternoons 44 percent.
- The dampest mornings come in May, averaging 71 percent. Afternoons are driest in August, at 25 percent.
- A normal year brings 12.52 inches of precipitation over about 93 days, with the most in May (2.02 inches).
- No month averages 80 percent morning humidity, which is why mold here almost always traces back to a water event rather than damp air.
- Even in the afternoon, average humidity stays above 60 percent in 2 of 12 months. Indoors, 60 percent is the line where mold starts to find it easy.

Where moisture hides in Casper homes
Plumbing leaks nobody sees
In a dry climate, mold is almost always a water event, not humidity. Slow leaks under sinks, behind dishwashers and in slab plumbing can run for months before anyone notices. Afternoons here average just 44 percent humidity, so damp air is rarely the cause.
Short, violent storm seasons
When the rain does come it comes hard. Roofs, parapets and flat-roof drains that sit dry most of the year fail all at once. Only about 93 days a year bring measurable precipitation, most of it in May.
Evaporative coolers
Swamp coolers cool by adding water to the air. Poorly maintained ones add humidity and their own microbial growth to the house. 32 days a year reach 90°F or more, which is when coolers run hardest.
Pools, spas and irrigation
Water features and landscape irrigation next to the foundation keep one side of a house damp in an otherwise dry place. A normal year brings only 12.52 inches of rain, so irrigation water often outweighs rainfall at the foundation.
