Best Answer

Windows are best left closed in a tornado.

If you are not hit hard, the windows can prevent interior damage.

If you are hit hard by a strong enough tornado some windows will break anyway.

But if a tornado is coming it is best not to waste time opening or closing windows. Take cover immediately.

During a heatwave, it is generally better to keep windows closed during the hottest part of the day to prevent hot air from entering. However, you can open windows during the early morning and late evening to allow cooler air to circulate. Using fans or air conditioning during the day can also help to keep your home cool.

Open your windows if it is cooler outside than inside (i.e. in the morning or evening) but close them if it is warmer outside than inside (i.e. during the middle of the day)

Why do you close your car windows?

At different times, there are several different reasons why I do that. They include . . . -- Denying access to the inside of my car to birds, insects, foreign objects, and unsavory people. -- Keeping water out when it's raining. -- Keeping snow out when it's snowing. -- Keeping the heat in during Winter driving. -- Keeping the heat out during Summer driving. Another good reason to do that all the time, any time, every time, is the fact that the aerodynamic characteristics of the car have been designed with the assumption that the windows are closed, and that means that your car's fuel economy (miles per gallon) will always be better with the windows closed. I always try to remember to close mine in the carwash,
