Opposite here, I live in the desert and a humidifier adds enough thermal mass to the air to make cooling reasonably cheap in the summer.

What do you mean by "a humidifier adds enough thermal mass to the air"? I would think that increasing the heat capacity of the air would increase the cost of temperature regulation.

When it's as dry as it is here the air heat up super fast, adding humidity will cool a room instantly (swamp cooler effect) and reduce the rate at which the temperature changes, making cooling affordable.

Swamp coolers/humidifiers can maintain temps in the low to mid 23C ish range in the desert but will push humidity to around 50-60% to do it.
