Swamp coolers work best with low humidity. Ever see those round coolers you hang on the window of a car? It had a cylindrical straw pad and water in the bottom. You pulled a string which rotated the straw into the water. The air blast from driving forced air into the car.
Swamp coolers didn’t work well here in Fort Worth probably due to the humidity.
