Could it be transmission oil ?
I'll try to take it to the garage on saturday

If it's low, possibly. I'd expect Canadian Tire to be competent in
checking fluid levels, though. Of course, you could always check it
yourself per the procedure in the owner's manual (fluid hot, vehicle
idling in neutral on level ground with parking brake applied).

Sorry. Confused this thread with another. Please disregard the Canadian
Tire reference in the previous reply.

I wonder if the rain has something to do with it of if it is just a
coincidence. Maybe an electrical contact that causes problems with
high humidity?

I checked my Transmission level and it looks to be over the "hot"
section. Is that normal? (like an inch over) I swiped it with a
kleenex and did it a second time, and still over. Weird. Maybe I have
too much fluid?

I have a standard in my Sonata so I'm not sure what the procedure is for
checking a Hyundai automatic, but most American cars I've had required
you to be on the level, run the transmission through all of the gears
typically pausing for a few seconds in each gear and then let the car
idle for 60 seconds or longer before checking the fluid. Did you read
your owner's manual and follow the procedure to the letter?

If you did and you are reading an inch high, then it sure sounds like
someone overfilled your transmission.
