Local housing stock
The median home in West Palm Beach was built in 1988, with 54 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. Nearly two in five homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, and where a tower's stairwells and elevator shafts open onto an open-air parking level, the humid garage air rises through them into the cooled corridors, leaving water on the cold lobby glass and tile.
Climate & seasonal risk
The normal dewpoint in West Palm Beach stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from June through September, reaching 75.5 in August; August is the wettest month, with 8.68 of 61.75 inches, both figures recorded at WEST PALM BEACH INTL AP, 4.5 miles away. August's storms test the stucco on El Cid's 1920s houses: where it has cracked over hollow clay tile, rain runs into the tile's open cells and stays there, and the wall gives it back only slowly to air that is nearly as wet.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Stairwells and elevator shafts open to an open-air parking level, in buildings of ten or more units that hold nearly two in five homes, carrying humid garage air up into cooled corridors
- Stucco cracked over hollow clay tile walls in El Cid's 1920s houses, where rain fills the tile's open cells and lingers
- Stucco over wood frame on El Cid's other houses, where a crack lets rain reach the lath and framing and holds it against the wood
