The Ideal Temperature to Set in Your Car This Winter

The ideal temperature inside a car during the winter months is between 19 and 22 degrees Celsius, according to the AECA-ITV vehicle inspection centers association. This temperature range helps maintain driver concentration, reduces fatigue, and prevents discomfort. Excessive heat can cause drowsiness, while using the heater immediately after starting the engine can strain it. Additionally, a significant temperature difference can cause condensation on the windows, reducing visibility. Even distribution of warm air is best achieved by directing it from the vents towards the feet.
