I am just imagining walking through your home with star eyes!
What a magnificent space to be
And we all have many many habits…if it is from the earth ( plants, grapes, food) and in moderation, it’s all healthy!

I am actually more red than white, but "boy is HOT here". In regard to the Tapas, Music 🎶 is all set, don't you worry.

Hi Witch.... 95°-85° but 85% humidity the thermic sensation is really disturbing.
I got a mist sprinkle system to reduce 15-20° ..now I have to figure out how to install it 😃

Yikes! That sounds like, wait, that is like where I live!!!
Lol
With 85% humidity I fear misters will only make you wet.
Unless they are far enough away AND make fine enough most to have already evaporated before reaching you, you will just get wet. That’s my experience in similar conditions. Worth what you paid for it
Can you open that shutter? Does that go indoors or to more garden? Breeze and shade will be your best allies

Sounds similar to summer in Kansas. Blech. I have a mister I sometimes turn on and go stand by at times while I'm working in garden. I'm with DC. The mister will make ya wet at that RH, but since you're already drenched in sweat it's a cool wet.
We have a couple of fans pointing at the table under our pergola and that breeze seems to work the best.

Sorry DC I didn't replay before. I have to correct that, that particular garden/terrace area is not that humid since the space is totally open and it has constant win or breeze, but sometimes that breeze is very warm, anything that get wet there get ends up drying in 1-2 hours. I am actually using nurseries trays that hold just a bit of water deposit in the bottom for the Oncidium, Miltonias and Dend. The Pahls are drying in 2 days.
I am now comfortable with the set up, the plants growth responds well, what I think I should not let out there are the delicated bloomers..Onc and Mil. However Iet a few to "test".
Afterwards, I installed the spraying system and it is OK, creats humidity but it does lower the temperatures, at least for me as WW said
Now I'm going to try some SH to see what's the N=1
