CLIMATE & HOME
What the seasons feel like
A daily mean includes the night. It is not a heat ceiling: individual days can be much hotter.

NASA POWER · 2001–2020. Temperature is a daily mean, not a daytime high. Climate, not a forecast. A model grid cell, not an urban station. Terrain and neighbourhoods can differ.

Housing: questions before signing
There is a cool season here; heating provision varies by home.
- How is the bedroom heated, and can you control the temperature overnight?
- What did electricity and heating cost in winter? Request actual bills.
- Are there drafts, wet walls or a musty smell? Request video of corners and cupboards.
- When was the boiler or heat pump last serviced, if installed?
SETTING & EVERYDAY LIFE

Wildlife: what to consider
Local species for this destination are not verified yet. Tropical wildlife is not assumed to be present everywhere.
City encounter frequency is not quantified: no percentages or frequent/rare rating is available. Inspect the property, screens, drains, waste, standing water and seasonal warnings. Sources of differing dates checked 12 September 2026; categories can overlap.
Property check: screens, damp and cleaning
Cockroaches & ants
Inspect the kitchen after dark, under-sink cupboards, pipe gaps and waste areas. Ask for pest-treatment history and who pays for control.
Mosquitoes
Check intact window and door screens, standing water in trays and containers. Pools and landscaping need maintenance. A/C does not protect an open window.
Snakes, spiders & other wildlife
For homes beside vegetation, ask about actual sightings on the property, door gaps, open bathrooms and local removal services. A species being present in the country does not measure risk in your apartment.
Humidity & mold
A musty smell, dark spots in corners and bubbling paint are warning signs. Before travelling, request video of cupboards, ceilings and walls after rain, leak-repair information and laundry-drying arrangements. A humidity meter is optional, not a relocation requirement.
Quiet, not just a listing promise
Visit in the evening, on a weekend and on a school morning. Check bars, dogs, construction, traffic and neighbor noise with windows closed.
Separate: outdoor and indoor humidity
Outdoor monthly averages do not tell you bedroom humidity. EPA recommends below 60% indoors, ideally 30–50% where possible, and repairing leaks. A dehumidifier does not repair a wet wall.
Waterfront does not mean a swimming beach. Verify access, seasonal conditions, water quality and lifeguards. Check quietness at the address, not by country name.
Checklist sources
Sources underlying the checklist: EPA · moisture · CDC · mosquitoes · WHO · snakes · CDC · spiders · NWS · beaches. An editorial inspection checklist, not animal-encounter statistics.
