Apparently, anything over 50% is considered high humidity

[conuly]

I had no idea.

What I want to know is, when are we going to get those solar panels going in the USA, too? Or are they already available and I just don't know about them?

Good to know I'm far from alone in thinking women's sports are great to do and to watch. :^)

Maybe where you live -- here, "high" is over 25%, which is about the point where evaporative coolers (used a lot hereabouts) no longer work effectively.

[conuly]

Oh, I just googled.

[conuly]

Google said those plug in solar panels are not quite as safe as the installed ones.

[adafrog]

I didn't know that, either.

[brokenallbroken]

Yep, dew point hits 55, we would turn off the swamp cooler and turn on the a/c.

[squints at user picture] Looks like we might be from the same place.

[rebeccmeister]

Sigh, well, okay. Thank you for Googling on my behalf. :^)

*chuckles* (used to live in AZ and am currently in AZ hunting for ants for the summer)

[brokenallbroken]

Yep, native Phoenician (former) here.

[larryhammer]

Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, I forgot whether that was Sabino or Esperero Canyon.

[merridia]

...is the demonym for Phoenix really Phoenician? because that rules.

[elainegrey]

Really.

Well, that makes me feel less guilty about running the dehumidifier and AC to get the in house humidity to the low 50s.

[zhelana]

has it ever gone below 50% in the south?

[highlyeccentric]

... well that explains all the people who think Geneva (Switzerland) is very humid, I guess.
