Default How quickly can a sudden change in humidity levels affect a guitar?

Today I was playing my rosewood guitar in an air conditioned room (not a particularly good room for acoustic sound) and the guitar sounded really full and pleasant. After finishing up I took my guitar through to the porch where the door was wide open and left it sitting on a stand.

When I picked it up a 1/2 later, it sounded thin and lifeless.

Humidity levels were about 96% here today.

I realise a sudden drop or rise in temperature can instantly affect tuning, but is it the same for sudden humidity change? (or are my ears playing tricks on me?)
