I''''ve been watching my potassium for over 10 years and I've never seen anything about humid environment effecting blood potassium levels. How does that work?

I was wondering the same thing having moved to Miami from New England. I googled the issue and it appears that it's not just high humidity, but high heat. A number of articles review those on dialysis, BUT read below. I stopped searching after reading the study interpretation below and added the issue to my ever growing list for my Nephrologist.

Interpretation
Higher ambient heat exposure is associated with more rapid eGFR decline in those with established chronic kidney disease. Efforts to mitigate heat exposure should be tested as part of strategies to attenuate chronic kidney disease progression.
