Sure. Grow on the shady side. If it doesn't rain then water it (daily for mounted plants) Where you live, Mother Nature will do most of the work of watering. (Where I live, sprinkler system lets me take a vacation) But the air movement is much better outside, the light is what plants have evolved to expect... If shaded, leaf temperature is ambient which is fine. You certainly have plenty of humidity.

It the temps are a lot above 90 or 95 deg F (32-35 deg C) then it may be wise to bring it inside, but orchids acclimate and it's not that far above its ideal range. If it goes outside now, before the full heat of summer, there is still time to get it on that acclimation path.
