id like to know the answer to this as well. example, say humidity is 10 percent and temp is 80, if humidity jumps to 40 percent, what would the temp be? and the other way too, if humidity was 40 and it was 80, what would the temp be if it was 10 humidity? thanks..

--edit -- i was reading online and i found that humidity tends to make it "seem" hotter or "seem" cooler, but i cant find anywhere that it can actually have an effect on temperature. i do believe it does but i just dont know what effect tho.

Im just curious because on another site saw somebody build this contration out of a fogger, cpu fan, and a small rubbermaid. They put the fogger thing inside the rubbermaid and used the fan to blow into it shooting all the fogg out another exhaust whole. They said it lowered there grow tent's temp almost ten degrees. Its true i saw the pix. I have a humidifier isnt that the same thing.

A humidifier raise the humidity a dehumidifier lowers the humidity. He mad a swamp cooler pretty common as the cooled water vapr lowers the air temps but will dramatically add humidity and increase chance of mold growing but it will drop temps by adding moisture in the air

a humidifier will give off heat reguardless of the humidity level of the room. to answer the question as asked. if you have a humidifier in the room, when it's on it creates heat that it gives off. i lowered my temps in my room almost 10 degrees by taking my Humidifier/ dehumidifier out of the room and putting it in another room that connects through the ceiling. this way I can control the humidity in the room without adding another thing to heat up the room.

Adding humidity or removing it is not what effects any change. It may 'feel' cooler or hotter, does not affect temperature. The difference is, if the humidity is high your persperation doesn't evaporate, its stay on your skin, making it feel hotter. This is 5th grade sceince. VV
