Swamp coolers only really work if humidity is low. If it’s already humid then any drop in temperature is negated by the increased humidity.
Honestly I get the most “cooling” by putting a dehumidifier in front of my fan. Dry air will feel a lot cooler than super humid air.

Dry air will allow more sweat to evaporate, providing the cooling effect right on your skin instead of in the air you blast at yourself. It’s basically the better swamp cooler.

My in-laws swear on their swamp cooler, meanwhile I am gasping for air because of the sudden change in humidity.
Seriously, we got their old apartment and everything just feels wet. The wardrobe has a weird smell, but it’s built into the wall and part of it, and I just spent the first year to get it all dry. It’s still not completely dry. All thanks to this swamp cooler 🐂💩
