PC safety in humid environment with no A/C?

[Xenoraiser]

Floridian here, my house recently had its A/C unit break, and it's going to be a couple or so days until we either have it fixed or replaced. Now my concern regarding my PC isn't the heat so much as it is the humidity, which is truly insufferable here. Because of that, I'm concerned about the moisture that may be getting into the various parts of my computer.

Obviously I'm leaving my PC turned off until we have a working A/C again, but I was also wondering if there are any measures I should take in order to make sure my computer works like a charm when we're finally rid of this humidity. I was thinking of removing the side panel and leaving a fan to blow into the computer for a few hours before I turn it on again.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I wouldn't worry about it. Water is only going to condense on the machine if it is colder than than air around it (don't store it in the fridge). You can even run it safely, though the extra heat it's going to pleasant. Humid air alone isn't going to short anything

My condolences, its a rough time to have the ac go down.

a couple days should be fine, but extended periods are gonna shorten it's lifespan greatly.
