Alaska weather and dehumidifier
I know some years are dry and some can be cool and wet. Do you use a dehumidifier in cool wet weather or would it just be taking up space.

It was cloudy and cool (again!) when we were in Homer last July, but certainly not so humid we would have needed any machine to take care of the humidity. In Skagway and Haines, we had a couple of cloudy, cool, misty days, especially up on White Pass, but also had sunny, warm, beautiful days. Since the wet periods were short in all those places, we generally dried out the next day.
But, when were in Anchorage, Portage, Seward, Soldotna-Kenai, and Valdez, we had absolutely clear and sunny, shirt-sleeve weather and I don't remember any humidity at all. And it's certainly not because I don't notice high humidity when I'm in it because we are from Colorado where the average humidity is less than 20%!
If you are going to ride the AMHS ferry to places like Ketchikan and Juneau, maybe you could use a dehumidifier. If not, my advice is to leave it at home.
