It's also pretty humid year-round in South Carolina! I've never had any problems with fungus or anything caused by humidity. Usually, if you keep your cameras and lenses in a closet with a light on all the time, that's enough to keep them dry. If not, you can always purchase a dehumidifier and keep it in the room with the cameras. I have a dehumidifier in my darkroom.
