Hi N+1, I too am in England only in the NE so opposite to you, we have a lot less rain than you because the Pennines keep it at bay!
I too was going to try the gel packs by all the different companies out there but discovered on reading reviews that a lot of people found that the hydrometer didn't change when putting these things in the guitar with the hydrometer in a case.
My hydrometer reads about 65% ish most of the time and my guitars are always in cases when not being played so to be honest i don't use anything, i'm not saying they don't work but in your first paragraph you stated your guitar was on a wall for 6 months! I'd be inclined to think that's where your problem came from rather that the wet conditions out side.
