Hello from Lancaster county. It is hot as blazes over here too.
When I dropped off my guitar the other week to get it setup, I made sure to let the guy know my hygrometer said the room my then bag/ case free guitar currently lives was running at 35-38% relative humidity. He was shocked. Turns out high velocity air conditioning may be a little too good at pulling moisture out of the air for wooden instruments. Extra care was taken to let my guitar adjust to 50% relative humidity before any work was done to it. I picked it up from the shop last night, and said a humidipak was arriving today. Well, it is a gizmo that suspends a thin damp sponge between the strings in the soundhole. For now, I will keep my guitar in its gig bag, and check the sponge every few days. I suggest getting a hygrometer, so you know better what you are working with.

Only product I will use for monitoring. Fantastic. You are right to be concerned about ac dropping your levels down. I use Boveda humidipaks in the winter and do not “recharge” them like some like to. My monitoring shows that you can end up overhumidifying your guitar if you do that. In the summer, at least in my environment, my guitar naturally sits at pretty much a consistent 50% humidity inside the case without my doing anything. Winter is a different story. Definitely need the packs then. They work amazing. No effort.
