In high temperature and high humidity summers, especially in tropical or subtropical regions, not all dehumidifiers perform well. You need models that can handle extreme moisture loads and operate efficiently in hot climates. Here's a complete breakdown:
Best Types of Dehumidifiers for High Temp + High Humidity Summers
Refrigerant dehumidifiers are best for hot, humid climates (above 25°C / 77°F).
They cool moist air, condense water, and release dry air.
They are efficient and fast at removing large amounts of moisture.
Tip: Look for high-capacity units (50–100+ pints/day) for whole rooms or open spaces.
LGR dehumidifiers are ideal for flood recovery or extreme humidity.
The LGR dehumidifier works in high temperatures and high humidity AND removes more water per kWh.
Common in restoration, warehouses, basements, and grow rooms.
Example:
PREAIR LGR85, LGR105, LGR125, LGR155, LGR165L dehumidifier for restoration.
Commercial-size or industrial-size dehumidifiers are designed for large, open areas or buildings.
Rugged build, high airflow, can operate 24/7.
They are often used in factories, gyms, garages, greenhouses, or laundry shops.
Look for:
High extraction rate (≥120 pints/day)
Metal casing (for durability in hot environments)
Auto-restart and continuous drain options
Feature | Why It Matters |
High Operating Temp Range | Ensure it runs well at 35–40°C (95–104°F) |
Large Water Removal Capacity | Needed to cope with extreme humidity |
High Airflow (CFM) | Moves moist air faster for quicker drying |
Continuous Drainage | Avoids overflow; essential in humid seasons |
Humidistat + Auto Restart | For energy savings and easy control |
WiFi or Smart Control | Let you monitor and adjust remotely |
Area | Recommended Capacity |
Bedroom or Office | 35–50 pints/day |
Basement | 70–100 pints/day |
Whole House | 90–150 pints/day |
Warehouse/Grow Room | 120–300+ pints/day |
Tropical homes
Flood-prone basements
Commercial laundry rooms
Greenhouses and grow rooms
Warehouses in Southeast Asia or the Southern U.S.
