I was born and raised in the Florida Panhandle, We always live around 40 miles inland except for around 6 years in Panama City.
The humidity here is no worse than any other area of the country which gets over 40 inches of rain a year. If you live close to the water then it goes up a bit.
I’m not complaining about the heat and humidity in Florida, just asking how to deal with preservation of foods in our climate — dried, canned, etc.
