Default Painting in heat

Can you paint an interior wall when it’s 90+ out and humid? I am planning on painting the bathroom this weekend and it’s supposed to be 95 (with a heat index of 100+). I don’t have much time to get it done so I really wanted to do it this weekend. Will it cause the paint to not dry or dry funny?

You can paint in the heat and humidity, but it may take a little longer to dry. You shouldn't have any problems with it running or anything like that though.

I agree with Aly - it will just take longer in between coats. Be sure that the wall is completly dry before adding another coat of paint. If you don't it might cause the paint to bubble.

It will take forever to dry. I would put it off if I were you. It will stick a lot better if you wait until the humidity goes down. I wouldn't paint in that much heat anyway, but that's just me.
