As in Japan monsoon season humid? In Japan, we all have camera storage vaults. The inexpensive ones are just giant sealed plastic tubs. The expensive ones are fancy glass cabinets. Throw in a couple satchets of dehumidifying and anti-fungus satchets. Fuji makes a nice anti-fungus agent that they sell in Japan. I keep the giant dehumidifying satchets from my "nori" (seaweed) cans. I recharge them everynow and then by sticking them in my oven. Get a hygrometer and make sure that the humidity is reasonable. Don't make it too dry or all the leather (straps, cases) will dry out and crack. Take your cameras for a spin every now and then. The sunlight will kill any fungus too.
