Puerto Rico\u2019s climate and the potential for foggy car windows<\/h2>\n
Puerto Rico has a tropical climate year-round so it is always more humid there than normal. Humidity is the primary cause of a car\u2019s windows fogging up. So, you will need to know how to prevent foggy car windows, or at least how you can effectively de-fog them each time that you get into your car. <\/p>\n
In the case of a warm and muggy type climate as you have in Puerto Rico, the warm air carries moisture. This settles on your windshield. When you get into your car and turn the air conditioning on, the moisture in the air that settled on your windshield reaches the dew point, thus causing the window to fog up. When this happens, you will need to wait until you can effectively de-fog the window to start driving again because you will not be able to see out of the windshield.
