The bike is no where near a water source, it is just that humid here.
So in short you would take care of it as if it was in rainy conditions, cool thanks.
Not a problem where I live, Reno NV. Our summer humidity is in the 20% and less range typically with maybe 2 to 5 brief thunderstorms the whole summer season. Even at night condensation on metal is rare.
Keep things clean and lubed or waxed to protect them. A steel frame can be treated internally with Framesaver to help protect it too in high humidity situations.
