It still helps a ton even if more humid..when it hit 93 here, it was about 30-35% humidity, and the swamp cooler was still an enormous help. Yeah, it stayed a bit muggier, but it still kept the interior temp down under 80 degrees (76-77 mostly). It's my personal opinion that you just want to get a higher CFM unit...so if you want to cool 1500sf, get a swamp cooler for 2500sf, etc. That way, even when you're near the outlet/exhaust windows, you still get a nice push-breeze coming from the unit.

I'm sure they would be a great help in a log home, where you would want to keep the logs from drying out and settling too....Maybe? Just a thought.
