PolarBear416 Joined Oct 2011 Posts 3191 EE 0% (0) USA	Posted: 5/15/2024 2:10:03 AM EDT [#5] It ranges from as low as 10% in winter to as high as 60% in summer. At 60% I try and lower it with an AC or dehumidifier to prevent mold growing. It doesn't often get to 60. I do keep as eye out for the lowest days in winter - 10% humidity is a great time to pack up guns and mags and parts for long term storage in airtight containers.

That would wreck my sinuses. I grow orchids and I can't stand anything below 50% myself. I make sure to get a bunch of fresh air to keep it from getting musty.

You better know it here in central Florida, I have a dehumidifier and try to keep it around 50%, it runs most of the day.
The water it collects gets put into my rain barrels or I water the house plants.

68deg, 52%. I try to keep it at 48-50, but it can be tough. Getting an inline dehumidifier when I replace the HVAC.

The fucking worst two parts of the year is fall/spring when the outside temp is roughly 68deg and the humidity is 80+, it’s a real bitch to keep the humidity inside down.

*hvac just kicked on, it’ll drop to 49-50 in a few.

When we replaced our hvac I had them drop down 0.5 ton so the system would run longer and remove more humidity (may not be advisable for every house).
We also have a portable dehumidifier for cool and humid days when the ac doesn’t run.
