When the dewpoint of the outdoor air is +60^F, the basement floor and walls may have condensation forming and growing mold. In finished basement, it's best to keep the relative humidity below 50%. This will control mold and dust mites. Get a good relative humidity meter to monitor humidity meter. You will need good dehumidifier in regions that have green grass during the summer months.
