    Any recommendations for a humidifier? I’m getting by with a rolled up tea towel on a radiator at the moment but probably need a better solution. 

    I’m guessing “Poor” will be the response but what are the £30 Amazon ones like? Will be for occasional use in the room where my guitars live. 
    I'm using a MeacoDry Arete Two dehumidifier to stay within +- 3% of a target range, and it can also be controlled via an app.

    I use one of these. It’s really good and certainly worth the money.

    Blimey even higher than high last few days.  Back over 70,  dehumdifier will get the guitar room down but turn it off and it is up really quickly,   I guess that's the double whammy of lots of rain in mild weather meaning you have to dry bed clothing etc in the house.

    Our en-suite is 93 thus evening, although my daughter had had a shower, but the first day of real condensation on inside of windows

    Open a window or two, even for 10 minutes, don’t let that much condensation build up indoors. The consequences for your health (and that of the guitar), are not good when and not if, mould forms in hidden corners. Brief airings don’t plummet the heat too badley because the fabric of the rooms stays warm.
