| It is rainy season (though less rain this year) and that means high humidity, even in your house. So I discover this interesting product at PriceSmart. DampRid |
 |
| I hang it in my closet and it absorbs the moisture from my clothing and the surrounding air. The crystals in the upper bag collect water and put it in the lower silver bag until full or crystals used. |
 |
| By holding up to light you can see the water in lower bag and some of the crystals that are dissolving down there. A bag lasts about a month so far. |
Because my windows stay open at all times and there are often breezes, the air in the rooms does not seem to be as humid and I haven’t felt the need for a dehumidifier yet. September and October are when the heavy rains come and it may be different then, though being on a hill with good cross-venting air flow, it will probably be fine.
By the way, it is one of the driest rainy seasons in years here with half the quantity of rain this June as last June. Global warming and El Nino are already affecting this part of Costa Rica. While the Caribbean side has had too much rain and flooding. Go figure!
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
