Should You Leave the Windows Slightly Open When Parking Outdoors in Summer?

In summer, you can leave a small gap in the car window when parking, mainly to reduce the temperature inside the car. The specific reasons are as follows: High outdoor temperatures: During summer, outdoor temperatures are relatively high. If the car's air conditioning is not turned on, the temperature inside the car can rise rapidly. Keeping the car windows tightly closed will cause the interior temperature to increase quickly. Therefore, leaving a small gap in the windows when parking can effectively lower the temperature inside the car. Opening windows for ventilation: Leaving a gap in the windows during summer is primarily for ventilation. A closed car cabin can become much hotter than the outdoor temperature. Given the already high summer temperatures, after parking for a while during the day, the car can become unbearably hot. However, if the windows are not completely closed when parking, air can circulate inside the car. This ensures that when you return to the car, the interior temperature is closer to the outdoor temperature, making it less uncomfortably hot. Additionally, turning on the air conditioning to cool down the car will be more efficient.
