it looks like temps in canada are about what they are in the U.S. South (though tbh, to me, north carolina is "the north," it ain't like the gulf) so idk. Buckle up I guess
if you can afford the additional expense a dehumidifier would help greatly, idk where the fuck you're livin' but humidity in Toronto or whatever is in the 70%s
if it's similar where you live then cutting that down indoors would help a lot, sweating will cool you more efficiently and idk I'm not a physicist but I feel like humid air is a better conductor of heat than just air, so you're getting smacked by all those hot ass water vapor molecules and just feel it in addition to your sweat not working anymore. Like a less intense version of having wet clothes on. don't @ me you redditors i said I'm not a physicist i'm sciencing on vibes over here, all I know is when it's humid af I feel it even before I have a chance to heat up and sweat
A/Cs dehumidify as part of how they work but like an actual dehumidifier would probably help more
you basically nailed the vibes based science
Ayy my wife was right, it is fuckin humid this year!! A real humidifier would be awesome...
DEhumidifier! DEhumidifer!!!
No you put the humidifier outside then that makes inside less humid by comparison.
This is how biology works too
Don't be silly; you fight fire with fire
My vibes based science says I think I'd get an extra AC instead of a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier will add extra heat into the living space, making the single AC work harder. The extra AC would cool more and dehumidify.
Idk i think it depends on what's going on here. Is your AC cooling to 70-75ish but it still feels hot af because it's humid? Get a dehumidifier
Is the inside temp too high because your little AC is too weak to cool the space? Get another A/C
