What to know locally in Cape Town
Tubs and hanging bags are popular in wardrobes, cupboards and caravans through the Cape winter, and cheap humidity meters help tenants show a landlord how bad a room is. Silica gel suits goods packed for the port, and some households buy purifiers for dust, though they do not dry a damp wall. Anti-mould paint helps in bathrooms once the cause has been fixed.
Cape Town: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Cape Town's winters, roughly May to August, are cool and wet, and many homes get damp and mould then. Old Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, Edwardian houses in Observatory and Claremont, cottages in Kenilworth and Newlands, and low-cost homes on the Cape Flats all hold moisture in cold, shut rooms. Drying washing indoors adds a lot of water vapour, and the south-easter is a summer wind, so winter windows often stay closed. Seafront flats in Sea Point and Bantry Bay get salt air. Industry in Paarden Eiland, Epping and Montague Gardens, plus the docks, needs dry storage, and the market is full of suppliers.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a meter in the bedroom or lounge to see how damp it gets and set a dehumidifier
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: meters in flats to show a tenant or an agent what the humidity really is
- Warehouses, archives and storage: loggers in aisles and stores to record humidity and temperature over time

A useful tip: ask whether the supplier can deliver before the first cold spell and service it later.
Sizes vary: single room meters to multi-site loggers. Here, homeowners and tenants lead the requests, typically for a meter in the bedroom or lounge to see how damp it gets and set a dehumidifier.
