Whether they're spring or electronic frequent exposure to a lot of humidity can cause them to go wonky. The spring type will rust and the electronic ones ... well, electronics + water = bad.
I wouldn't keep/store a digital scale anywhere I wouldn't keep any other piece of electronic equipment. My husband the facility engineer has taught me to assume if something isn't clearly marked "Water Resistant" it isn't and shouldn't be stored in a high humidity environment.
Full disclosure, in the past 10+ years I've bought no less than four scales. The last one I got is the ONLY one that has worked reliably, and still works consistently. I got the best rated, highest reviewed scale on Amazon. I treat this thing like it's a Faberge Egg.
