Singapore has a naturally humid climate, with the average level of humidity sitting at 83.9%. But after long periods of rain, it’s common to see this rise to 100%.
High humidity levels can cause homes to feel stuffy, and you’ll even notice the condensation on the windows, walls and sometimes on counter surfaces. And if this isn’t addressed, you’ll be able to see the growth of mould, fungi, and mildew after just a couple of days,
Stuffy homes can also cause respiratory problems, and if you have asthma, you could have a flare-up. It’s also much more difficult to dry your clothes in a humid home. A simple answer to solving humidity problems is investing in a dehumidifier that will last you for years to come.
There is a dehumidifier for every home, whether you have ample space and want a machine that can sit in a corner, or a much more compact machine that can be moved between rooms as and when you need to. Check out the list of the best dehumidifiers below.
