Will the Humid weather affect the painting that I'm doing?

Question

So ive been working on  this vanity and im painting it in my garage. its really hot and humid this week in indiana and was wondering if that would hurt the way my paint dries?

Yes, it will definitely affect the drying process! I live in South Louisiana, and humidity in the summer is always over 80%. It makes drying paint or poly very difficult. Make sure the finish is not tacky. It could take 30 days to cure here.

Thanks for using Hometalk for help (by the way the second link is aobut painting your house in hot humid weather and the effect it has on the paint ... I figure whether it's your home or some other project, it will have an effect, so I included the link here too)
