What Does Humidity Do?
Humidity makes the air feel hotter than it really is, and that is why it is so uncomfortable. Removing the humidity alone can make a room feel cooler. The same is true in winter when it gets naturally dry. Very dry air can feel cooler than it really is. While an air conditioner will remove much of the humidity, getting it lowered in some other way can make your air conditioning unit more efficient and lower your cooling bill.
The removal of humidity from the air is more of a side-benefit to an air conditioner, but in many areas that is enough. In the southern regions of the United States, humidity levels may be 70-80 percent naturally, and it will be hard on the system for an air conditioner to reduce that enough by itself.
At some point, the humidity level will get too high for most air conditioners. Even if not, the humidity level makes your air conditioner work harder, so it puts more stress on your system.
