The last two months of temperature and humidity data from inside the basement safe indicate that Spring is becoming Summer down there:

The new bag of new silica gel beads once again dropped the humidity below the Hobo datalogger’s 15% threshold, so I don’t know the actual humidity. The indicator cards packed inside the silica gel buckets report they’re below 10%; that’s dry enough for me.
