Humidity - closing the box

It rains a lot in the last Days (Weeks) and the humidity in my workshop is actual 58 % at 23 degree.
What do you think is the maximum for closing the box?

45% too! I find though it's easiest to keep your shop at 45% at all times. You can get really small efficient dehumidifiers for about £100 these days.
