Moisture & air supplies in Richards Bay: local notes
Exporters and importers shipping through the port use silica gel and container desiccant strips to cut condensation inside sealed boxes on long voyages. At home, tubs and hanging bags help in wardrobes and shoe cupboards, and a humidity meter shows whether a room stays above 60 percent. Air purifiers come up for smoke from cane burning in the surrounding area, though they do not dry the air.
Richards Bay: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Richards Bay is warm and wet for much of the year, with a coastal climate that stays humid even in winter, and with rain concentrated in the summer months. It is a port and industrial town first: the deepwater harbour handles coal, minerals and timber products, and heavy industry sits around the bay. That puts a lot of weight on storage, containers and plant rooms that need dry air, and on offices and workshops with older air conditioning. Houses in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood get mould in bathrooms and on walls behind furniture, and Empangeni, a short drive inland, is a market town with similar humid problems.
Typical moisture absorbers requests in the area come from:
- Factories and food plants: tubs in a control cabinet room or tool store, as a small extra
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a tub in each cupboard of a flat that stands empty between tenants
- Offices, schools and clinics: a tub in a store room, filing cupboard or a small records room
