54% in my office at 75 degrees. Going to move the humidity sensor around. House definitely feels sticky at higher temps

I find I really notice the sticky feeling of high humidity around 56-58%.

My intent is to install a whole house dehumidifier when I replace my 15 year old HVAC to handle humidity during those times of the year when temps are cool so AC doesn’t run remove humidity but outdoor humidity is still uncomfortably high. But I might consider doing this sooner as, knock on wood, my HVAC seems to still operating fine. Interestingly, from what I gather, whole house dehumidifiers are not that common in the Deep South.

UPDATE: Got it in and turned on yesterday at about 5:00.. when I did humidity was reading at 66% on my ecobee, and 55% on the unit. By 9:00 ish the unit was reading 45 and ecobee was reading low 50's.... it's not huge but I could notice a difference in comfort. I didn't feel like I was suffocating as much when the AC kicked off. Will be interested to see how it goes as it keeps running...I have really high ceilings and my living room is a giant cased opening from my kitchen which also has high ceilings so it's a lot of air to dry out.
