I used to think that a swamp cooler could get you down to the dew point. But I
learned it can only hit the wet bulb temperature.
According to the interwebs:
The wet bulb temperature is higher than the dew point temperature. The wet bulb
temperature represents the lowest possible temperature that can be reached
through evaporative cooling, while the dew point temperature signifies the
temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor.
Where I am at right now, the gov says the dew point is 70, wet bub is 87. RH
is 39. But my shop is cooler than wet bulb. So still not sure about these
things.

There is a clear difference in dry heat environments and humid heat
environments.
The corn and soybeans around here just make the humidity spike. The body can
cool much easier in a desert environment as a result when compared to a high
humidity environment.
We have countless Harley riding trips in the Arizona and Nevada heat that
exceed 100-degree days and it still felt more comfortable comparted to an
85-degree day here with dew points in the 60s or higher. Hands down no
comparison.
Both need hydration but here in Indiana you just can’t keep cool in those
conditions.
I think our red rock hiking has exceed 115 at times.

In Phoenix, during a 120 degree day, in the shade, with a breeze, it isn’t too
bad. You gotta have the shade and breeze though so you get some evaporative
cooling from your sweat. But yeah, hotter than hell. I still think Florida
sunshine is hotter than AZ.

What happened to the old saying “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity”?
Actually, I hate both heat and humidity. I would die if I had to live
somewhere like Houston. But the people in Phoenix who claim 120 degrees isn’t
hot because “it’s a dry heat”, that’s a lot of crap. If you go there, you find
that nobody goes outside until the sun starts going down. An underground house
that also serves as a bomb shelter starts to make sense.

Must be nice to have a dry climate. They don't work so well in TX.

It is 100 outside and 75 inside.
22,400 square feet of metal shop building. All due to swamp cooling.
16% humidity outdoors 75% indoors.
All for the cost of spinning a blower and pumping a tiny bit of water.
