Usually, but the humidity varies considerably according to the presence or absence of water (still or streams), air temperature and pressure, and natural ventilation.
I have found very rapid relief from hay-fever when entering a cave thatswallows a stream, having walked very feverishly to it across meadows, and I ascribe this to a combination of high humidity and modest temperatureas well as lack of pollen in the cave's air.

Why are some cave passages very humid?
Some cave passages are very humid because they do not have good ventilation. These wet caves cannot release their moisture making them very humid.
What is the weather like in caves?
They don't really have "weather". There is no precipitation for a start, and little seasonal variation. The mean air temperature in most caves of any extent is fairly stable at that of the mean annual air temperature of the region in which they lie, or a little lower, but this can be affected by changes in air circulation or stream-levels. Bats exploit this in choosing caves as roosts, nurseries or hibernaculae, the last being preferably slightly cooler, and they often migrate from one to the other. A few UK show-caves are used also for maturing cheeses, thanks to the cool, dark, humid and stable conditions. And very nice cheese it is too! The air in most caves does circulate, and caves can be pervaded by strong draughts. Cavers use the draught to guide them in searching for "new" caves or extensions to known ones. Caves in temperate areas especially are very humid, and this plus the cool air can create mist that can be the bane of cave photographers. A few caves in high Alpine areas are pervaded by ice formations coating their rock surfaces - the Eisriesenwelt in Austria being a classic example.

What are the different types of caves?
The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.
