Bows are made for all of the conditions. Make sure you wax up your string real good and you will be fine. When you get homedry it off and hang it up. I even like to take some compressed air dry it that way.

You may want to put a very light coating of wax on any carbon steel screws and accessories like your sight pins as well to stop them from rusting.
