- Description:
  > Different climates have different demands on your exterior paint. For example, in areas with a harsh winter, the freezing temperatures cause the paint to contract, and when it is warmer, the paint expands again, causing cracks and peels. On the other hand, in a hot and humid climate, the paint wears and fades quickly. Mold and mildew also grow on the paint much more easily. 
  > 
  > Therefore, choose an exterior paint that accommodates the climatic changes in your area. For example, if you have extreme temperature fluctuations, select a paint that has superior flexibility, and if you live in a hot and humid area, opt for a paint that has more mildew resistance. 
  > 
  > Before an anticipated seasonal change, such as when \[preparing your home for winter\](https://listium.com/@RichardW/2628/preparing-your-home-for-winter-check-list), take a trip around your house to examine its interior and do any repairs or paint touch-ups needed. In the same way, before the summer, inspect your home again and see if the paint has deteriorated, and address this, too.
