In the recent five-day forecast of weather.com, increased humidity was expected in Albany, New York along with scattered thunderstorms and showers. The local news source wnyt.com reported of the same:
Clouds will be on the increase Monday as a disturbance treks across the region bringing the threat of showers and thunderstorms by the afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s again.

With high chances of downpours, your gutters should be serving their purpose. However, are you sure that they are functioning as they should? An efficient gutter system should collect rainwater and direct it to its desired location, which is away from the house. Know that when rainwater is splashed into the ground across all directions, it can damage the foundation of your house. Likewise, your exterior, such as the wall and paint, may be stained due to splashes of water.
For your gutters to work, they need to be regularly cleaned. However, many homeowners tend to postpone doing this task leaving dirt and debris to accumulate. It can even happen that dirty gutters can invite animals and insects to settle in. One reason why some homeowners are likely to ignore cleaning their gutter is because they hesitate taking the ladder because of the risk of falling.
