No need. Just keep on shooting. You'll need to worry if you don't shoot. Yet if you don't, why bring your cam?

Absolute Moisture / Humidity goes up with temperature.

At 10 DegC at 100% RELATIVE humidity, the is less moisture in the air per m3 than
35 DegC at 50% Relative humidity.

That is why fungus is not a problem in cold countries, even if it is 100% RH and there is fog (water condensing in the air due to oversaturation).

You will have less of a humidity problem in Genting than in Singapore.
