Thats the reason its called Relative Humidity.

It’s going to be hard for a window unit to remove enough moisture at night with people in the room and the night cooling off. Personally 48% humidity is perfect for me but I understand a person used to the desert would be used to lower.
I’d recommend a dehumidifier. Even a cheap portable will make a big difference.Thanks. I have a portable dehumidifier here at home and can take it with me next trip and try it

Window units have never been known for effective humidity control.

I’m tired of these mediocre “semi flammable” refrigerants. If we’re going to do it let’s do it right.
Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

I use one in the spring and fall when the ac can’t keep the humidity below 55% and it works great.

Your hypothesis is intriguing. Please elaborate on the source of the oxygen and hydrogen that the unit uses to make water. Perhaps this technology could be used in arid regions.
You have never heard of condensate from an air conditoner?

I tried one here at our Texas home and found that it produces so much heat that it makes the central AC run more than normal. I figured why run it when I can just run the central AC more. I slowed down the fan speed so it has to run longer to cool the house- in return humidity is lower

You have never heard of condensate from an air conditoner?Of course. But that isn’t generating MORE moisture. It’s taking moisture out of the air.

Research what relative humidity actually is.

That’s the disadvantage of window unit you can’t really make adjustments like that.
