Dehumidifiers in Pietermaritzburg: local notes
Winter changes the answer here. A compressor unit works well in summer, but a cold Hilton or Howick bedroom may call for a unit with auto defrost, or a desiccant model that keeps going in the cold. Student houses near the campus and flats in Scottsville usually want a quiet home unit, while nurseries and plant growers look at larger units for humid tunnels.
Pietermaritzburg: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl of hills, with hot, wet summers and cool, drier winters, and the nearby Midlands above it are famous for mist. That mix means damp comes in two forms: muggy mould in summer and cold condensation in winter. The city has many old red brick Victorian and Edwardian buildings, in Scottsville, Pelham and the town centre, where solid walls and old plaster can stay damp low down. Student digs near the university, rental cottages and older office buildings all show it. The Midlands from Hilton to Howick has timber homes, cold bedrooms and plant growers, and Willowton and Mkondeni hold the industry.
