We've just had a lot of rain in England for the last 10 days. Seems to be nonstop and so the humidity has been high, in a normall humid country. I have a hygrometer in the flat but I can never tell if it works as the weather on the BBC says 100% and then my hygrometer says 60%. Eitherway it's been high over the last few days, my hygrometer reckons about 66% and the flat average would be about 54%. The ukulele normally sits outside its case, in my bedroom, on a chest of drawers. No sunlight exposure etc. The fretboard and kneck seem in line, the bottom and top woods could be slightly swollen looking (or just rounded by design), but I couldn't tell you if they were light that before or not.
I've just noticed that one of my ukuleles suddenly has higher action and I confirmed this with my action ruler. It seems to have gone from (there abouts) 2.75mm to 3.1ish. So I took the strings off and stuck it in the case with one of those gel packets.
Am I right to assume that this is a humidity problem? Does it sound like it could be normal in such weather? or could this be something else?
