Smoke=Fire:

I am just going to go smoke my cigars now before they have a chance to be fouled up by my not maintaining RH...or AH, but wait, the temperature is not stable at 70 degrees, it is warm, I may have beetles...or mold! Oh no! What can I ...

*lights cigar* Ahhh...*smiles*

What was I worried about again? ;)

If you're worried about it smoke you could send your collection to me I'll make sure they are stored at a perfect 65* :)

You, Sir, are a humanitarian ;)

So how come on my digita Hygro when the temp drops so does the Humidity? is it bad or sumpin'? It tells me both Temp and Humidity

If our hygros are reading RH, what you're seeing makes no sense to me, Lassy. It makes perfect sense as a matter of absolute humidity.

Correct me if I'm wrong here urbi but this is my opinion. Lasy the reason you are seeing this drop in humi as well as temp is this. Your apartment is sitting stagnent in summer months, this allows the humidity to build up. Then when you fire up that window unit its sucking the humid air out of the room and pushing cooler AND less humid air back in. My slight understanding of how AC works leads me to believe a lot of the humidity in the air would be lost in the process.

sounds logical to me.

Oh yes ;) The Gurkha humidor is a nice one that is being seasoned, the coolerdor is working out nicely, my C.Com humidor is full of the Brazilians, and my good humi is chocked full once more. Life is good :D

That is correct. That was actually the main point of air conditioning, back in the day -- to dehumidify the air. The thing is, while that would explain the temp drop on Lassy's hygro, it doesn't explain the RH drop, IF the hygro is in fact measuring RELATIVE humidity.

(Disclaimer: I'm no expert on the terminology of "RH", etc. I know the basic physics of cool air holding less moisture than warm air, and I've read the definition of RH. If I'm misunderstanding the latter, I could be completely wrong about Lassy's experience.)

Good point urbs ... if its relative it shouldn't be affected. Unless its sucking more humidity out than just what is relative. If that makes sense.

True, but then you would expect his humidification device to compensate. Maybe the drop in temp is too fast for it to keep up, but it should return to normal at some point -- reasonably quickly, one would hope.

Well unless its passive. What is your humidification lassy?

Got me two large discs of "Heartfelt Humidity Beads" at 70% but they are a little under-filled for i want to gain 67%

Well those bads are passive but they should recover fairly quick.
