That's what I was also wondering about- using the wall as a sort of natural swamp cooler with the constant evaporation of water. I'm unsure if I'll be using the lean-to still in Summer but I was considering an exhaust fan in the ceiling and putting in an actual swamp cooler bringing in only dry outside air from it- that gets cooled and replaces the hot air which is continually sucked out from the top..
So many questions, considerations and decisions to make
