In high humidity and temperature conditions a simple AC may not be enough.
On the coast it is common for my AC to reduce temps into the high seventies at night
But humidity remains in the mid sixties. I had enough of that in Southeast Asia.
It is specifically called "feeling clammy". It is not pleasant
This is specifically where a dehumidifier will come into play.
A good size dehumidifier will extract another 10-15% R/H out of the air and make the room much more comfortable. The AC can easily handle a few extra degrees generated by operating a dehumidifier. You also have the option of adding a 2nd AC and operating it at very low airflow woth compressor at100% duty.
