- Retric 9y agoTexas is a lot more than just Houston. Further, you want around 30-45% and AC only removes excess humity not 100% humidity. Also, it's summer and the second number that really matters so by comparison: July: San Antonio 44 (ok) Houston 55 (+10) Fort Worth 42 (ok) vs. Orlando 64 (+19) New Orleans 66 (+21) https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Louisiana/humidity-july.php https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Louisiana/humidity-ju... https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Florida/humidity-july.php https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Florida/humidity-july... PS: Your AC lower air temp below your target room temp, and extracts water because that air is limited to 100% humidity. The air is then heated by your house which is how relative humidity drops. Aka they don't extract anything at 20% humidity and they extract everything over some % that varies based on outside temp.
