I am not a scientist.

But, I stuck my new digital weather station in my wall-mounted medicine cabinet in the bathroom and did a little experiment to see how much the temperature and humidity changed while taking a shower. Some people say it's a bad idea to keep frags in there as the temp and humidity vary widely enough cause frag degradation.

It was 74ºF and 50% humidity in there before I turned on the shower. I'd normally never do this when it was this warm, but to prove a point, I also turned on the heater and closed the door and took a leisurely hot shower. When I got out, the bathroom was like a freaking swamp. It felt like 85ºF easy and pushing 95% humidity, as there was lots of condensation on the walls. The weather station in the cabinet read 76ºF and 66% humidity. Considering all the frags are in thick-ish glass bottles, I doubt the actual temperature of the juice inside changed by a tenth of a degree, if that. And also considering all of the bottles are sealed at least watertight, or more accurately alcohol-tight, I'd assume that there was zero moisture getting in to any of them.

So, after many years of keeping vintage and niche frags in my bathroom medicine cabinet with zero damage, I will continue to do so. Thank you.
