Relative humidity is normally at a minimum just before the dawn of morning. This is usually the lowest temperature of the day, as well.
Generally when the temperature is at it's highest point. the heat will evaporate some of the humidity.
Absolute humidity refers to the amount of water vapor that exists in a given volume of air at a given time. Relative humidity is absolute humidity relative to the maximum humidity for the current temperature.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor at any given time and relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the greatest amount it can hold at that air temperature.

Relative Humidity (RH), is how much water vapor is in the air at a certain time. Humidity, in my opinion, is just another way of saying how much water vapor is in the air.
The relative humidity of chaparral can vary depending on factors such as temperature and time of day. Generally, chaparral regions have relatively low humidity, often ranging between 20% to 60%. However, during cooler or more humid periods such as mornings or after rainfall, the relative humidity can be higher.
It depends on the time of year.
No, it is not necessarily true that the highest relative humidity occurs in the mid-afternoon. Relative humidity can vary depending on various factors such as temperature, wind speed, and time of day. In some cases, the highest relative humidity may occur early in the morning or late at night.
The short answer is the maximum percentage of humidity in the air at any temperature is 100%. The percentage of humidity or relative humidity of air is the percent of the maximum humidity or amount of water that the air can hold at any given temperature. Therefore if the relative humidity is 80 per cent at 20 degrees and then the air cools off to 18 degrees the relative humidity goes up even though the amount of humidity or water in the air stays the same. If the temperature continues to drop the relative humidity will continue to rise. Since cool air can hold less air than warm air the relative humidity will eventually reach 100%. If the temperature continues to fall the relative humidity will remain at 100% and water will come out of the air as precipitation.
specific humidity
Water can "dissolve" in air. As the temperature and pressure of air goes up, the amount of water that can be held in the air increases. We can measure the "absolute" humidity of air, but this isn't especially useful. It is more handy to know hoe much water is IN the air, as a percentage of the amount of water the air COULD hold. That's "relative humidity". It is important because as the temperature rises, the air COULD hold more water, so the relative humidity falls. As the temperature falls, the relative humidity rises. As the air cools, when the air couldn't possibly hold any more water than it has now, the relative humidity is 100%, and we call this the "dew point", when dew will begin to settle onto the grass. If the air gets much colder, the water will condense out of the air and form FOG.
because land heats up and cools down very fast so at night when the sun is not there the land starts to cool down quickly and the excess of heat is sent back by long wave radiation
Ideal Humidity. I do not think that there is an ideal humidity. Where I live most people have approximately 40 percent humidity. This must be seasonally adjusted to as low as 20 percent in the winter time otherwise condensation on cold surfaces, such as windows, will occur. Indoor humidity should be reduced or increased relative to the temperature outdoors and personal comfort level indoors
