July and August: Heat and Dried-Out Lubricant
In this climate lubricant does not thicken - it disappears.
Very low humidity plus sustained triple-digit afternoons drives the volatile carrier out of most lubricants quickly, leaving a residue that attracts dust rather than reducing friction. That is why a door lubricated in spring can be grinding by September. Mid-summer re-lubrication with a product suited to heat is the single most useful maintenance job in the Lubbock calendar.
