I would go the monopod for travel in heat and humidity. If you find that you need to steady it more just grab a stick or two, spread the bottom ends away from the monopod and hold the top of the stick or sticks firmly against the mono and hey presto! you have a tripod.

Used this trick successfully many times.

I even managed to use a monopod at St Peter's Basilica, the Louvre and a few other places where tripods are banned. Rest the monopod on the ground near a wall of something sturdy grab the camera in such a manner that your outstretched elbow can rest on a wall etc.
