Mesquite has humid months that reach about 73% humidity, summer highs average about 93F, there are about 82.1 days above 90F each year, so spring and fall are usually the easiest seasons for flooring installation while hotter summer periods need more attention to acclimation, storage, and jobsite conditions.
