Regional Climate Effect On Speakers

.
I grew up in Florida, and I remember it being very humid down there in the summer. I lived in Denver for five years and I remember the air being very dry. I now live in an area where things are pretty even.

Have those of you that live in extra humid or dry places noticed any effect on your cabinets, drivers or any other parts of your speakers?

I guess fans can also take care of this issue.

Fans do not control humidity.

My brother lives in India. Weather in winter is warm and dry. Monsoon season, which occurs during the summer, humidity and heat go through the roof (so to speak). This has a harsh affect not only on his stereo but takes a toll on buildings; they become quite weathered.

His speaker surrounds hold up for a limited time. CDs need to be opened and mold cleaned off. Electronics develop various problems. If he ran the AC 24 hrs a day possibly the problems would be reduced. I know some people there don't have the same issues.

Thank goodness we do not deal with a climate such as that.
