I started building mine in the winter where it enjoyed freezing temperatures, occasionally getting snowed on, and carried inside to the relative warmth of the unheated back of the house.

This progressed until I was finishing the boat in sweltering summer temperatures of 90+ degrees with 90+% humidity, with an occasional shower thrown in. I suffered, the boat didn't.

Seriously, I didn't have any problems. I didn't work in the rain, figuring the wood would be too wet. And that was about it. Did figure heat would cause the epoxy to kick sooner, and mixed less. I also switched to the hotter temperature hardeners. By doing that, I didn't have zip in the way of weather problems. If the wood swelled because of heat and humidity, it was so slight as to be inconsequental.

We won't talk about trying to work with latex paint in the sun at nearly 100 degrees though.
