boat companies work on rainy days if you have it in a dry place it will be fine may take a touch longer to kickoff but it will be fine.........

I have done a ton of glass work while it was raining (in a dry place). Like Rollo said it will take a little longer for it to kick but it will be fine. Just don't get in a hurry. It is worse if it kicks to soon ( like on a hot sunny day) than kicking a little longer.

I once rebuilt a transom during a hurricane here in Florida (inside a dry carport) it took a little while longer for the glass to kick off,but it set up fine and wasnt affected at all by the moisture in the air.

If you couldn't lay glass in High humidity us folks in the Deep South would never get to lay glass LOL 60% humidity or higher is common round these parts.. ideally yes lower humidity ..
