1. A vehicle air conditioning device comprising:
a compressor that compresses a refrigerant;
a radiator that causes the refrigerant to radiate heat so as to heat air to be supplied to a cabin of a vehicle;
an outdoor heat exchanger that is provided outside the cabin of the vehicle; and
a control device, wherein
the control device is able to perform at least
an air conditioning operation that causes the refrigerant discharged from the compressor to radiate heat in the radiator, decompresses the refrigerant that has radiated heat, and then causes the refrigerant to absorb heat in the outdoor heat exchanger so as to heat the cabin of the vehicle; and
a defrosting operation that causes the refrigerant discharged from the compressor to radiate heat in the outdoor heat exchanger so as to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger, and
the control device determines whether it is possible to perform the defrosting operation on the basis of outside humidity.
