That's quite high! Wow
Hot places love high ceilings... all that heat will go up up up and don't bother that much. But with so much wood, not sure if it would go away. In Portugal, because most of the ceiling architecture is made of stucco, the cooling effect of the dry surface acts in two ways, first it absorbs any humidity very quickly, and because it's a good dissipation material (compared with wood), it will absorb the heat a bit too.
Good work mate! Enjoy.
