There's not really any particular summer-time care regime for guitars. There are some basic rules of thumb that apply all year round, tho (some of which may be more or less applicable depending upon the time of year):
I live in Florida where the humidity is quite high; it's currently 6:15am, 75°F and 95% humidity outside. Despite the high humidity, my home is often pretty dry (as low as 36% sometimes) because I keep the A/C cranked year round. For a while, I kept my guitars on the walls, but started noticing that the tops were getting rippled and that the tops and back were looking a bit concave. Now I keep them inside the cases and use Arion Case Humidifiers (wrapped in socks) and Caliber Hygrometers inside the cases:

If it's in the hard case with humidipak 24/7 except while playing, you are in great shape. The case does an incredible job of keep a stable environment. Maybe buy a cheap hygrometer to put in the case, just to check on. My apartment swings from 30 to 70 RH all the time, but the case hygrometer is always reading 45-50, and that's even without a humidipak.
​
I bought a handful of these, have them littered around the apartment and in various cases. Congrats on your guitar, and welcome to the life of constant humidity awareness.

Take everything with a grain of salt, including this. But here's what I would tell "beginner me" if I could go back in time.
Technical Information: I think this is too often overlooked in beginner lessons.

Have fun!
When someone ask what is a good first guitar, this is what I recommend. Yes, they are both more than $100. In my opinion no guitar under $100 is worth having. Why ? Under $100 dollars do not stay in tune, hard to fret and are junk. The better the quality of the instrument, the more dedicated you will be to learning it.

Might can get those a little cheaper at local store....I think
I picked up one of these about 7 years ago. It was meant to be a cheap semi-beater my wife could use in her classroom. But it's a very solid instrument. It's got a good tone, stays in tune, the action is reasonable with no fret buzz.
It's good enough I've used it on some live gigs. I still play it now and currently keep it tuned to open D for slide stuff and delta blues style finger picking. I absolutely love recommending it to people. There are a lot of cheap "toys" you can get out there, but this one is amazing guitar for the price.
I have a keyser that I’m not a huge fan of just because it doesn’t like to sit well on the neck (I have an Eastman, not a Gibby, though).
My go-to is my trusty old Shubb. Have had it for probably 12 years and it’s still going strong.
this is the one I use.
I don't own a seagull, although it's the next guitar on my list. I always like Elixer Lights, polyweb coating. I love the way they feel.
I'll link them if you need it.LinkThe first thing I would try is Simichrome polish along with a lot of elbow grease. That may well help fix some of the scratches too. If that works, follow it up with an application of Renaissance Wax.
I think that should clear up your finish.
I love my Ibanez Artwood. They make a version with a cutaway:

Elixir strings, friend. [Nanowebs...#.10, extra light] (http://www.amazon.com/Elixir-Strings-Nanoweb-Acoustic-010--047/dp/B0002E1O7M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1427653649&sr=8-5&keywords=elixir+.10). I have been playing acoustic guitar for about 8 years now, and I have spent hundreds of dollars on different strings, and after all that trying, these are my personal favorite. I used to prefer a heavier gauge of strings, but I've always used Elixirs.
I can't stand D'Addario strings.

Reviews are saying it's excellent to start off on but want some opinions from the pros:)!

It was this. Solid spruce top, rosewood fretboard. I bought it at a shop tho, to avoid quality control issues.
Hey, you're like me! I also started playing the guitar seriously only this January.
It matters because of whatever program your recording into. I would recommend going cheap. This is my set up,
Interface
Microphone
The interface will come with a downloadable DAW but, I don’t know its real capabilities as I’m a Mac user with garrageband. This set up will get you basic recording.
Here is an example using this setup .
You could always use this or the frugal substitute - moist sponge in a ziploc bag with some holes in it.
There are a couple of things you can do.. I live in a rainforest, so humidity is a constant battle. The D'Addario humidipaks work pretty well, but if you live in a place with constantly high humidity, they will never dry out and you'll have to replace them every few months, which can add up. Lately, I've been using these silica gel dry packs, which can be dried out in the oven in a few hours at low heat.
