It's not the heat it is the humidity

Mesh Connectivity is not only hardware and software, the environment plays a large role. Weather and temperature variation also seem to play a role in connectivity. I have notice in -15C weather that the Mesh Nodes are working perfectly; however, in the 28 C weather there is a noticeable difference in quality.

In my particular setup the nodes are about .7KM apart on average. As soon as I increase the amount of available nodes and start to decrease distance between the nodes I get a constant operations; however, temperature still has an affect on wi-fi. Understanding this concept will help you plan your network out.

Humidity also plays a role. I have not scientifically determine, tested and measure this problem; however, humidity, temperature or pollution play a key factor in network operations. From the weather observations we must take this into account when planning a mesh network.

The article I wrote in planning a mesh does not take this into account. I should update the documentation www.moskaluk.com/papers.htm .

I guess heat and humidity is giving me humility.
