Default motor long cranks when humid?

I live in the middle of the desert so it doesn't get humid too often.

But lately (monsoon season) I've noticed my car will crank for a long time before firing when it's humid. Just swapped plugs (tr6's I've ran in all 6 of my cars) and wires (MSD) a couple months ago and it JUST started and ONLY happens when it's excessively (for AZ) humid out.

It's the worst when I've left the AC on and have been running the washing machine and drier in my garage. Usually the car just fires right up and still does when it's outside and dry-hot outside.

Is this normal or am I experiencing some weird **** where my car is just tired of it being hot outside haha.

I have never driven/owned and LS1 car anywhere outside of the Phoenix area and the other LS1 cars I've driven /owned start right up.

I can't even remember this ever happening. But I'm sure it did. Putting a new motor in it definitely helped haha.
