Daytime temperatures here have been 95-100 a lot lately and supposed to continue.

Humidity in my condo is 70-75% so I picked up a dehumidifier today. All the guitars will now be in a closed off room with controlled humidity.

I've had to shut the AC off in that room because when it comes on it just fills the room with damp air and the humidity shoots back up.

So, with the AC off the inside temp seems to be around 80* although likely to rise a bit more during the day.

I'm aiming at about 55 for humidity with no AC which will probably mean about 80 to 85* air temp.

Anyone see a problem with that ?

Thanks

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Interesting that the A/C adds humidity. The AC in my bandroom removes it, and quicker than the dehumidifier, but it is only a window type unit. I only run the air occasionally, and only when I'm in the room.

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066		Same here. AC tends to subtract humidity. I run a humidifier in the winter but never in the summer.
I wold run the AC and the dehumidifier and try to reach accepted norms.

Location: Flahdaw		My humidity level in my home with central heat and air stays at 55%. The only time it's higher is when the weather outside is perfect and we open the house up (which in Florida is about 3 days per year)

Have you checked your air conditioner's condensate drain?
