It won't be perfect...the real world doesn't stick to averages. There is probably a season that tends to get the least amount of rain. No one here can tell you what season that might be. Be aware that different paint/stain products can have temperature ranges within which they are best applied. Outside those ranges it can be too cold or too hot. They might dry too fast or too slow to produce the desired result.

In addition to rain, you also need to consider what may be floating in the air. In my area, you would be a fool to do in the spring when there are clouds of pollen in the air.

Sure is a heck of a lot easier to get a good quality job with the thing lying on sawhorses in the garage.

Doesn't help with the humidity, but it won't rain on it in there.

In times of high humidity you'll have to wait a lot longer for each coat to "dry".
