Do I want to moisture the air or dry it? does the air get dryer in the summer or more moist? my guess is it gets drier?

If anyone has any units they reccomend here I would appreciate it, ideally below £100 and not expensive to run.
There is a big difference between air conditioners and dehumidifiers A dehumidifier will remove excess water vapour from the air and can dry the air out too much which is not a good thing for people with respiratory problems.Air conditioners will both remove moisture and cool the air
