So it looks like monsoon season is here again in Korea.
Last year I didn't have any hobby stuff with me, but I do remember the heat and humidity of the mighty "Jangma" being altogether too much for my pasty anglo-irish physiognomy.
It gets to above 30 degrees celsius, and humidity stays at a steady 80+% chafe.

As someone who previously had never experienced anything hotter than summer in the south of England, is there anything I should know about? I know I can't spray paint (because the air is water now), but is there anything else?
Like, is there a point that I should put my resins in the fridge? Will greenstuff suddenly rebel? Will my lamian medium stop drying out on my pallet before I can finish painting?

Also generally, hot weather stuff for painting and modeling - anecdotes, horror stories, advice - would be cool. Coming from England, it feels like the hobby is more or less perfectly suited to the climate, beyond it being a bit too chilly and drizzly in winter to spraypaint. Do you live anywhere where the climate makes it particularly difficult, and how do you get around that?

Don't quite have the same humidity, but I have to deal with a lot of heat in North Texas.

Honestly, the only concession(s) are having moved to an airbrush for year-round priming. And never leaving finecast or forgeworld in a car.

I live in south TX for about 10 yrs now, things you should worry about are: DO NOT store resin miniatures anywhere that might get hot, like the attic, prolong time in a car etc.

Priming is fine, just don't do it on a foggy day obviously, a place out of the wind and above ground is prefered.

Yup also texas, humidity and heat can get high. If you are going to spray paint, do it inside like near a window and have a fan blowing out, or do it bright and early in the morning before it gets too hot.

Resin and plastic cannot be stored in hot places as mentioned.

For this reason I normally go on a priming binge or army painter base coating binge in the spring. I have about 200 models primed or base coated right now just in case I get to them. But from about may to sept cant really do much outside.
