if the weathers that hot neither of the above are any good for cooling you down, you need to fork out for a portable air con, they are expensive but ''you gets what you pay for''.simon_d said:
the dehumidifier is ok for damp problems but the evaporative cooler is just taking up space, its a wet rag being dragged round the inside of a plastic box with a fan blowing over it.
I would disagree.
A good dehumidifyer will significantly reduce the moisture in the air and allow the bodies own evaporative cooling system to work well.
I was walking down the main street in Las Vegas and I was think that it was quite warm. Around the next corner was a thermometer showing 134 F.
It felt perfectly comfortable because the humidity was extremely low at about 4% and any sweat immediately evaporated leaving me feeling totally comfortable.

Are you sure about that? 4%? That would make all your moist evaporate in the air and leave you dried out and dehydrated!Agile said:
40% air humidity is very comfortable to live/work/sleep/be in

Well the simple answer is that I did not know the exact humidity. Today its 32% but then the temperature is only 28 degrees centigrade.
Las Vegas is in the Mojave dessert which is one of the driest parts of the world and the rainfall is only 4" per annum.
At 134 degrees Farenheit it felt very comfortable indeed.

so if you live in the Mojave desert a dehumidifier is good to keep cool.Agile said:
if you live on Bryher, as I do, just standing with your feet in a bucket of water is pefect but in melbourne a evaporative cooler from my own experience is no good at all.
