Anyone who’s born in Singapore or has stayed in the sunny island for some time would be familiar with complaining about its extremely humid climate. With temperatures that range between 26 to 32 degrees and relative humidity (RH) levels that can go up to 95 per cent, it is no wonder we are always hot and bothered.
But that’s not all—high humidity can also be damaging to our homes, encouraging the growth of mould and musty odours. This can, in turn, cause respiratory infections and allergic reactions to the allergens and contaminants that fester in the humid environment.
To ensure optimal comfort indoors—the ideal RH level is 40 to 50 per cent—we’ve picked out five of the best-performing dehumidifiers in Singapore that not only removes excess moisture, but elevates the air quality in your home for a healthier living space.
