Is there an A/C vent nearby blowing on it? As I said, a rapid change in temperature can shatter glass.

Changes in temperature cause glass to expand and contract, and when this is done at different severities across the glass with the edges and centres changing in opposite directions, the pane is put under stress which can cause it to break.

Not really. There’s a vent at the top of the stairs but it doesn’t blow directly into the window. Also haven’t sprayed it with water lately bc we’ve been using the soaker hoses for flower beds instead of sprinklers.
