While this doesn&rsquo;t actually alter the temperature of the air that it moves, it certainly helps you to feel cooler thanks to the wind chill effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wind chill effect works by drawing heat away from the body. The same way you might blow on a hot meal to cool it down faster, the air blows the heat your body creates away and keeps it from stagnating around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the same as evaporative cooling (although fan&rsquo;s can help with this too!), which a process that operates on the fact that water absorbs a large amount of heat when it evaporates. When it does evaporate, it takes this heat with it, thereby cooling the area that it leaves behind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are They Effective Outside?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans are certainly effective when it comes to keeping you more comfortable in the outdoor heat, and they work the same way indoors and outdoors, by using the wind chill effect to keep heat from settling around you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, fans are more effective than ACs when it comes to keeping you cool outdoors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Minka-Aire F896-65-ORB Xtreme H2O 65 Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with DC Motor in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07B1FNKZ8?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31YtPSN+kDL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Minka-Aire F896-65-ORB Xtreme H2O 65 Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with DC Motor in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish\" title=\"Minka-Aire F896-65-ORB Xtreme H2O 65 Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with DC Motor in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31YtPSN+kDL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Minka-Aire F896-65-ORB Xtreme H2O 65 Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with DC Motor in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish\" title=\"Minka-Aire F896-65-ORB Xtreme H2O 65 Inch Outdoor Ceiling Fan with DC Motor in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside, there&rsquo;re no walls or insulation to contain the cooled air that an AC creates. This means any cooled air will simply dissipate into the great outdoors, and unless you&rsquo;re directly next to the AC or your outdoor space is fairly enclosed, you likely won&rsquo;t notice much difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans however, will keep you feeling cooler as long as you&rsquo;re under them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, outdoor fans can have limitations. Depending on your fan&rsquo;s model and the height it&rsquo;s installed at, it may or may not be powerful enough to push the downdraft all the way down to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have yet to purchase a fan, be sure to check how powerful each fan is. You want to make sure your fan&rsquo;s strength is appropriately matched to the height of the location you want it to be installed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockwise Rotation Option is Useless Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Winter mode,&rdquo; or clockwise rotation, simply cannot make the outdoors more comfortable when the weather gets chilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand that, let&rsquo;s take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-direction-winter-reasons\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18653\">how exactly clockwise rotation is meant to work <em>indoors<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we already know, when fans turn counterclockwise they create a cooling downdraft. When they turn clockwise, however, they create an updraft instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This updraft displaces the air that settles at the top of a room, pushing it down the walls. Since warm air rises naturally, the air that has settled at the top of the room is warmer than the cooler air at the bottom. When the warm air is pushed down the walls, it reaches the bottom of the room, where people can feel it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside, however, this method will not work for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, the air outdoors in winter is likely far colder than the air indoors as a whole. This includes the slightly &ldquo;warmer&rdquo; air that might gather at the roof of a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/indoor-ceiling-fan-outdoors\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16776\">covered porch<\/a>, patio, or similar structure, which likely won&rsquo;t be very warm at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor ceiling fan in clockwise mode during winter\" class=\"wp-image-20279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Outdoor ceiling fan in clockwise mode during winter\" class=\"wp-image-20279 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Outdoor-ceiling-fan-in-clockwise-mode-during-winter.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The supply of cold air is also virtually unlimited, since nothing is enclosed. Once any &ldquo;warmer&rdquo; air is displaced by the fan, it will mix with this massive supply of cold air and any difference in temperature in the air around you isn&rsquo;t likely to be noticeable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, with no walls or insulation, this warmer air may simply &ldquo;escape&rdquo; the area altogether once displaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that to say, once more, your outdoor ceiling fan is essentially useless in cold weather. Keep it set to spin counterclockwise and use it to keep cool in summer! If you want to go outdoors, it&rsquo;s best to simply layer up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoreaircoil.com\/evaporative-cooling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.baltimoreaircoil.com\/evaporative-cooling<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gohermitage.com\/blog\/counterclockwise-fan-direction-for-cool-summer-savings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.gohermitage.com\/blog\/counterclockwise-fan-direction-for-cool-summer-savings\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/ah\/ceiling-fan-direction-in-summer-and-winter\/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9036ab25bf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/ah\/ceiling-fan-direction-in-summer-and-winter\/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9036ab25bf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hvacrguy.com\/can-a-portable-ac-be-used-outside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/hvacrguy.com\/can-a-portable-ac-be-used-outside\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/nature\/climate-weather\/atmospheric\/question70.htme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/nature\/climate-weather\/atmospheric\/question70.htme\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeleyinternational.com\/us\/commercial\/what-is-evaporative-cooling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.seeleyinternational.com\/us\/commercial\/what-is-evaporative-cooling\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The direction of rotation for ceiling fans during summer and winter is frequently discussed (in the ceiling fan world, at least) and undisputed.
