I realise that an aircon unit will both cool the air and remove humidity.
However in this weather I am finding the relative humidity (75%+) to be more of an issue than the actual temperature.
Dry heat is reportedly much less unbearable (more bearable) than wet heat.
So would a dehumidifier (cheaper than aircon and also useful in winter) be a sensible option?
Noting that you would have to more or less seal the room.
Just speculating because the weather is scheduled to break tomorrow in most places.
