"desert coolers + fan, which specifically work by increasing the humidity of the air and then using a fan"

Actually, evaporative coolers significantly reduce the air temperature[1], when used in dry climates.

"At 32 °C (90 °F) and 50% relative humidity, air may be cooled to about 24 °C (75 °F). The dew point for these conditions is 20 °C (68 °F).

"At 40 °C (104 °F) and 15% relative humidity, air may be cooled to nearly 21 °C (70 °F). The dew point for these conditions is 8 °C (46 °F)."
