Eastern Cape notes on dehumidifiers
A medium-sized compressor unit handles the mild, damp coast well for most bedrooms and lounges in Gqeberha and East London, though capacity drops in colder weeks, so a model with auto-defrost helps. Factories and warehouses around Struandale, Markman and Wilsonia want larger units on castors with drains, and the port and car component makers look at ducted or industrial systems.
Eastern Cape: the weather, the buildings and the damp
The Eastern Cape coast is mild and damp: Gqeberha, Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and East London get sea mist, drizzle and a south-westerly wind, and older homes in Walmer, Summerstrand, Southernwood and Berea often have limited ventilation, so washing dries slowly and cupboards smell musty. Inland the Karoo around Graaff-Reinet and Cradock is dry, with cold winter nights, while the Wild Coast and the hills around Mthatha get heavy summer rain, and rural homes and RDP houses struggle with condensation. Port Elizabeth's motor industry, the Coega zone, the East London port and citrus packhouses in the Gamtoos and Sundays River valleys need steady humidity control.
