    Does humid air offer better heat exchange?



    Hello.

    I have noticed on some days at the same temperature my air con will perform a bit better, and other days not that good.

    I'm wondering can this be due to different levels of humidity in the air?

    I would assume if the air has more moisture content, it would absorb more heat is at passes through my condenser, than air which has not much moisture content.

    Is this true?

    Thankyou.
