In practical terms, that means a fairly bulky device with a motor-driven compressor, a closed radiator for the refrigerant to pass through, a fan to suck air in and blow it across the radiator, and a wide exhaust pipe through the wall or window to get rid of the ‘removed heat’, and – in some cases – a drain for the condensed water which results from cooling the air. Remember that the reason you even found this article was probably because it’s over 30 ºC outside – the more above that it is, then the more hits I get. If you’ve ever used a normal desk fan you will know that you only feel cooler if you’re sweating a bit.

These are the data for relative humidity recorded at the same time as the temperature measurement, above (the red line is where I moved the logger).

In winter, the condensation point is reached very easily, which is why you get your windows all steamed up and everywhere is often damp, but in hotter weather it is more appropriate to think ‘sauna’ (which is why it gets ‘muggy’).
