unless you live in a desert or in a cold climate where the heat is on inside your home for extended periods of time, I think you'll be ok without one. Honestly, I live in the South and it's very humid here, tropical even, and I've never had to worry about moisture except for about 3 months out of the year. I run a water fountain in my showroom and during that time it puts over a cup of water in the air a day.

Thanks for Caring UGB. I'm not sure about the place where I live, I mean I have no idea of How much Heat is too much. I guess I'll buy a cheap HYGROMETER and measure things practically  . Is it a good Idea, UGB ????
Kindest Regards

I'm sure if you poked around the internet enough you could probably find the average relative humidity for your region.

Try these sites to find out weather info:
http://www.wunderground.com/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/
http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/weather.shtml
Or one of the hundred others that do the same, or look up wikipedia.com & do a search under your area's name for info. Don't get mixed up with heat & humidity as they are very different. If you need a humidifier (which you may not, depending on your research), according to The Medical Post boiling a jug in a room does a similar job to a humidifier. (The jug has the advantage that it doesn't release bacteria into the air like some humidifiers have been prone to in the past)
