Thanks for the info. I have noticed a number of articles on evaporative
cooling since I posted. I think the contention of one article was that no
matter how high the dew point, as the temperature rose, the RH tended to
move toward 50%. The author stated that you could expect a 10 degree temp
drop even in Florida. I'll have to do a little experimenting.

I should have mentioned that the thermostat is about 40 feet from the cool
pads
so it is considerably cooler right in front of the pads.
