Does IP53 cover humidity

My daughter is at a friend's pool party and the wife dragged me down to the actual pool to collect my daughter and her things. I hadn't planned on going in and didn't leave my phone upstairs. It didn't get wet directly but it was hella humid in the pool area. Was in there for ~10 minutes. Is humidity something we need to worry about with the pixel XL?

A quick Google search revealed this chart: IP Rating Chart | DSMT.com

Thanks. My question was more due to the fact that the water was not condensed but in the air. Didn't know if it was any more harmful than liquid water.

Also based on the site you provided a light splash should be fine?

Honestly, if humidity was an issue my Nexus 6P would have dropped dead a dozen times. When I go out for walks it lives in a pocket of my shorts. In 90 degree humid weather, it can get pretty swampy. The Nexus 6p had no IP rating, I can't see an issue with a device that has an IP rating...

Mine's taken a couple complete dunkings and been fine. I think it's much more water resistant than advertised.
