i live in the desert in southern Nevada USA and at the most humid we get to about 45%. we only get 12" of rain each year (mostly within two months). storing threads like linen (and cotton) is a challenge so i mostly use silk and when i need the others, i only order what i need so i don't have to "store" too much. i have not had any difficulty with cotton so far and the silk seems to "not care". i think the advice for wrapping is awesome. we have grit from the winds stirring the grit from the area is a troublesome consideration for me. i like plastic bags for protection from this, but they rot easily and have to be replaced. in the dryer climes, i just open the bags up for a month and replace them. this might not compare to your area.
