You two are funny. Ever look at the top of your fuse box? Not very wet. Place it as you see fit. The connections are largely sealed and the relay is sealed. The unit was built to get wet.
I don't think your mounting location is terrible but I HIGHLY recommend heat shrink around those connections and (at minimum) a wrapping of electrical tape.

it's small touches like this that maintain the reliability of a car. it's better to put in the little bit of extra effort (generally, you should never have exposed wires) to prevent headaches later on.
perhaps 4 years from now, your horn stops working and you spend 3 hours troubleshooting just to find that it got wet and you short circuited shit
