With that much humidity, the swamp cooler will not be worth a damn.  They
rely on evaporation to cool, and in 90-100% humidity, you won't get any
appreciable evaporation.  I have a home window-unit swap cooler, and in the
very dry air of Colorado it works great.  But back in Iowa where I grew up,
it would not have worked at all.
