Re: How can I get more moisture in the air ?
Just goes go show how vast the country is, especially in terms of weather difference - here in Cairns we're around 88% - 90% humidity today.
Very moist - straightened my hair this morning and by this arvo I have an authentic, full-on, 70's stylee afro going on...

What about wet sheets on the windows, so any breeze coming through is less drying, only problem I can see is out that way in summer they might dry out in less than 10 mins. :scared: but could be worth a try. Skip coffee too, really dehydrates you out there.

You're spot on. They do dry within 10 minutes. A while ago I mopped the floorboards , and they were dry within 5 minutes, so no help either
Would hate to do that twice a day just to increase the humidity
, reckon I'll buy a humidifier on the weekend.By the way, we do not have radiators, no use for that out here....

What are the neighbours doing about it? Probably used to it. When I was in Canada I used to put water in my nostrils because my nose became very painful of the dryness.
