Probably hard to understand as I appreciate there is a drought heatwave dustbowl going on in the USA, but over here in the UK its hasn't stopped raining for four months and a lot of places are underwater.
Indoor relative humidity is 78-82% all day every day, every night.
Everything stinks like its starting to rot and I'm concerned about the guitars. Some necks that only warp in winter have warped out of all proportion, never seen them so bad.
Open the windows and its 90-100% relative humidity outside, it just increases it. Turning on the central heating does reduce it as its convection wall mounted radiators that are fierce and really dry the place out, you can see the humidty dropping on the gauges. But temperature is OK as it is, a comfortable - 62-68F
I have been here before but at this time of year it should be blazing inside and really low humidity, well at least around 40-50%.
Problem is I live in a big open plan flat, no rooms, 77 square metres of open plan flat and when its hitting 82% with no no cavity walls I think I should do something.
Would a cheapo portable dehumidifier/air conditioner cope with this sort of air space? And what are the running costs, I mean compared to just baking myself with the gas convection radiators? Aren't these things like 500W minimum and left on all day and night? That is like a floodlight. Electric is well expensive.
Should I be worried about the guitars with poly paint and q/sawn necks about 82% humidity inside anyway at only 62-68F?
I'm waking up with aching joints and pneumonia lung complications but it does keep your skin looking good apparently. Thing is the dust mites and wildlife are gonna start moving in soon.
What do you people do who live in humid areas? feckin damp dismal country this is.
BTW, they say the jet stream is moving next week...apparently, don't know where its moving to so hopefully you'll get some rain.
