Is high humidity causing dampness in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, high humidity is indeed the primary culprit behind the dampness and oppressive atmosphere in your master bedroom closet. In Dubai and throughout the UAE, we often experience significant fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity, especially during certain seasons or after heavy rains, as you have recently experienced.

In the current scenario, with the AC running non-stop but still noticing persistent dampness, it suggests that the air conditioning system may not be adequately managing the moisture load. It's crucial to understand that even though Dubai has a generally low relative humidity throughout most of the year, sudden spikes can occur due to weather conditions or building design issues.

Given your observations and concerns, I strongly recommend scheduling a professional environmental inspection to assess the situation thoroughly. This will help identify if there are any underlying moisture sources such as leaks, condensation issues, or even structural problems that could be contributing to this dampness. In Dubai, it's not uncommon for buildings to have design flaws that can exacerbate humidity issues.

For immediate relief and prevention of further damage, consider the following steps:
1. Dehumidifiers: Portable dehumidifiers can significantly reduce moisture levels in smaller spaces like closets.
2. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation by opening windows (when weather permits) or using exhaust fans to help expel moist air from the closet and other affected areas.
3. Insulation: Check for proper insulation around pipes, walls, and roofs as inadequate insulation can lead to increased condensation.
