But what is dry air and what to do?

With the rise in temperature, the relative humidity (which affects humans) tends to reduce. If you are in an environment with a relative humidity below 30%, you may start to experience not only difficulty breathing but also a sore throat.

Well, the relative humidity should be between 40% and 60% on average to have a good environment. Always have a good humidity and temperature meter, as you will see that this will help a lot (you can see for example a weather station).

Homemade Refreshment Solution

The simplest way to increase the (relative) humidity of the air to comfortable levels is to inject it with water. This is something you can always do, as all you need is water!

For example, if you have a wide container full of water, this will evaporate making the air less dry. This also happens when, for example, you wash the floor of your house on a very hot day, as evaporation will make the air less dry. But, there are devices that do just that!

Solutions to cool environments

There are several devices that can help maintain a pleasant climate both in terms of temperature and humidity, including good alternatives to air conditioning. Check out some of the most common ones!

1. Nebulizer and conventional fans

The nebulizer fans can work like normal fans, but adding water to your tank will give you a much cooler environment. Well, water is pulverized and small droplets refresh the environment.

In this way, these nebulizer fans can cool the environment and reduce dry air very quickly, being a great help to face the heat and dry weather.

4. Air Conditioning

Most air conditioners already have a humidifier function, as they are able to reduce the temperature without the air becoming too dry. However, if you are looking for a way to face the heat and dry weather for just a few days, you can opt for one or several of the above options.
