Get some 2 dollar dehumidifiers - they are just plastic boxes with an absorbent in them, open 1 to start with. Raising the temperature would lower the RH as warmer air can hold more water molecules, if you raise temp to offset your RH you could get some CO2 pouches to take advantage of it

Damp rid boxes asap. Tons of dehumidifiers for 0-200. Its worth it after you lose buds to rot. You'll kick yourself if you don't. I've had it happen with the exact same scenario, rain for 3 days during flower time. Lost way too much for not moving fast on it.

If you have a dehumidifier it really needs to be a compressor style. The small, inexpensive Peltier dehumidifiers do not have the power to get the humidity as low as needed.
