Well Im moving to the OC area and I dont know much about it. I live in Peru which is in south america so it has a perfect weather for instruments... Iv never used them here and never had problems with my bass so I dont know... Im afraid something will happen if i dont use them in Cali.
You should be all right. I'm in LA and keep a humidifier in the "bass" room. It's geared to go on automatically whenever humidity drops below 45% - I try and keep it in the 50-55% range. Sometimes humidity will go as high as 60-65% (as it did this summer) and sometimes drop to 30% (rarely - Santa Ana conditions etc)
As long as you keep an eye out you should have no problems.
