Should I humidify or dehumidify after rainy weather?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we've seen around Dubai, it's quite common to experience an increase in indoor humidity levels. This can be especially noticeable near windows and other areas that are more exposed to moisture from the outside. In your case, since you're noticing high humidity even with your AC running at full capacity, I'd recommend considering a professional assessment.

Here’s why: In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's crucial to keep indoor environments dry to avoid potential mold growth and structural damage. The recent rains have made this more critical than usual. Mold can start growing in as little as 24-48 hours if conditions are right, so swift action is important.

If you decide to go the DIY route first, here are some steps you can take:

1. Increase Ventilation: Open windows (if safe and feasible) or use exhaust fans to help expel excess moisture.
2. Use Dehumidifiers: These devices can be very effective in reducing humidity levels. Opt for a unit that has a capacity suitable for your space, as recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Maintain Your AC System: Ensure it’s running efficiently and consider getting it serviced if you haven't recently.

However, given the severity of the recent rains and to ensure safety and comfort, I would recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional company that specializes in indoor environmental quality. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide expert advice and solutions tailored to your specific situation.

Remember, in the UAE, it's not uncommon for humidity levels to spike after heavy rain events. It’s important to address these issues quickly to prevent long-term damage or health concerns. So, if you find yourself struggling with high indoor humidity even with basic measures, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help.
