Humidity data changed how I store my '66 Mustang in Tampa | Classic Car Storage

I kept my convertible in a regular unit for 6 months and thought a car cover was enough, then I read a study from the local university that said Tampa's average summer humidity sits above 85 percent, which basically turns any enclosed space into a greenhouse. The cover trapped moisture against the paint and I found tiny rust spots on the quarter panels that weren't there before, all because I ignored the actual numbers. Has anyone else checked their local humidity stats before picking a storage spot, or am I the only one who trusted a dry look over real data?
