Ambient weather, climate control etc for reloading bench

[cross]

Gents,

I've just moved from CO to Nashville and I'm in the middle of settling in. A concern I've got is where to locate my bench. Not doing this stuff for work anymore means convincing the family to give up a room in the house is a pretty big ask, but the attached garage is not climate controlled.

I reload in bulk for carbine and handgun for USPSA and 3 Gun and have some concerns about working with a powder thrower out there given the hot temperature and very high humidity. For precision ammo, I can sort out a means to do brass prep and bullet seating on the bench in the garage and do the charging indoors, but I'm still not sure how the progressive will run in a 90-100 degree 80+% humidity environment.

Can anyone give me any advice as to whether or not this is a real concern or if I'm just overthinking it? I'm anticipating issues ranging from inconsistent charges from powder clumping to MV swings related to the conditions at the time of loading. I suppose theres a need for additional PMCS on the tooling and dies as well. Does anyone have experience to share?

I have had my load bench in the garage in central Arkansas before I moved and had no issues. Even had my chargemaster out there but kept covered when not in use and would occasionally wipe down the ram on the press to remove dust and grit and apply a light film of oil, things you would normally do anyways.
Unless you keep your garage door open alot you would probably be surprised what the difference in humidity is from outside to inside the garage.
If it really concerns you try an easy experiment, most people have a home indoor outdoor weather monitor, place the outdoor sensor in the garage in the area you would have your bench and see for yourself what the difference is.

Forgot to mention my garage doors were insulated so I'm sure that helped with internal temps in the summer months.
