People who live in hot, dry climates often use misting fans outdoors that deliver chilled air while they work outside or enjoy sitting around a patio on a hot, dry night. The misting fans are connected to a water reservoir and create a fine spray of water. Combined with air from the fan, the water spray evaporates, cooling the air around the misting fan. These fans can be indispensable ways to cheaply cool outdoor spaces.

Construction workers, landscapers, or others who need to be outdoors often use battery operated misting fans to stay cool or take cooling breaks. In the desert states like Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Southern California, the misting fans are used during the dry summer months that precede the summer rainy season. These fans help many people endure temperatures that can exceed 100 for days on end.

People who attend outdoor concerts during the summer can take along small, portable misting fans to stay comfortable. Because the air in the deserts is so dry, once the sun goes down, the air temperature drops more quickly than in humid climates, so once the sun sets, people enjoying an outdoor concert or social activities with a misting fan can put the equipment away.

People who have to leave their pets or livestock outdoors in unrefrigerated spaces also use misting fans to keep the air around the animals comfortable during the hot days and evenings. Animals have as much a need for relief from high temperatures as humans, and the air cooled by misting fans or misting systems contributes to their overall well-being.

Gardeners who want to make sure their plants do not suffer from heat stress on extremely hot days can set up misting fans to blow cooler, humid air over the plants that will help the plants make it through a prolonged hot spell. When the sun shines in these dry climates, the plants lose a lot of water through their leaves and providing another source of water they can take up through their leaves not only keeps them cooler, it helps hydrate them.
