I'm not sure what "too humid for the clarinet to function" means, but the solution to water dripping from or clogging the tone holes is to swab often. What has already gotten into the tone hole itself and can't be reached by the swab inside the clarinet can be blotted up with a piece of cigarette paper or even the corner of the swab or some other cloth that isn't too thick.

I believe anecdotally that the problem usually has to do with the humidity and temperature you're playing in.
