It was so muggy last night, I brought one of the dehumidifiers up from the cellar hoping it would help, but it made things worse temperature-wise.
Dehumidifier actually made the room warmer

When a dehumidifier compressor is cycling, it releases warm air...not much....but if you feel the exhaust, it will be a bit warm. If you want to cool the room/house, you need to run the AC.

Yes.
A dehumidifier takes water out of the air. It does not cool the air.

I don't have an AC. That's why I tried the DH. We're in for several days of temps in the mid to upper 90sF.

The "heat dome" headed your way is right over us, now. We will have temps in the upper 90's, and heat indexes over 100 for this next week. At the bare minimum, you should get a window AC unit...they aren't that expensive.

The expense isn't the problem, it's the maneuverability. I can lift anything over 25 pounds.
