You cant just use any foam. I has to be floral foam which is actually made to hold water (its for flowers)

Just enter “weather” on google and it automatically provides a forecast, along with alternative resources. Anyways, the humidity here is 60%. So I’m good.

Would anything happen to a Ukulele in a heated climate such as the state of Arizona without a Ukulele having no case? would you need a Humidifier?

You can get guages that measure the humidity in your case. These are often small and an be mounted. I think the best thing to do is just get an inexpensive humidifier make sure its in place in your case. And don't leave your uke lying around when your not using it. The case will protect it from more than then knocks if will help keep it from drying out.

how long does a uke need to be in bad conditions before problems occur? I live in southern cali and want to buy a nicer 2nd uke and I'm worried if the humidity drops once in a while.

Dan, I don’t seem do be having any problems, then again I’ve only had my uke since the start of spring, and i’ve only used it outside in Newquay so I guess the humidity is a bit different. Will try it when I’m next back home a bit south of London.

This is a great article, thank you.

I’d been having problems with my ukulele ’cause of the cold here in London. It seems whenever I take my uke out in the cold no matter how well I tune it, it goes completely out of tune and I can’t tune it again for a while.

I’ll look for a humidifier and see if it improves
