Would mold grow in a car on a hot day?

Question

If you were to leave a car outside for a week which is a very hot week (like 100 degrees which is about 33 Celsius) would this environment be considered an optimal "mold growing environment"?

Answer 1

depends on the humidity and what you have in the car

if you have a wet beach towel in your car on a hot day, then yes, it's likely to grow a bit of mold.

Answer 2

if it is humid, and the windows are closed, i wouldnt suggest trying though

Answer 3

I would assume, yes.

Answer 4

If it is humid in the air, or if you have the windows all up and there is moisure inside your car, like a wet mat, etc. than yeah.

Answer 5

Yes, if there is moisture and a bacterial source for the mold to grow on.

Answer 6

It depends on the levels of humidity/moisture in the air.

Mold grows rapidly in dark, moist areas.

Answer 7

Depends on the humidity - mold tends to grow in humid, rather than hot, conditions. And probably a little cooler than 100F - remember, it gets hotter than that inside the car.

Answer 8

only if there were extreme levels of moisture present.

Answer 9

Only if it contained enough moisture and the car was never opened or moved.

There would have to be a considerable amount of moisture in the car to create mold in an item of that size.
