Massapequa, New York reaches 100% relative humidity during the summertime. During the summer time in Massapequa, it is very, very hot. This causes the surrounding water (notice that Mass. is on an island, so it is surrounded by water) to heat up and rise, causing water vapor in the air.
100%.
35%
That's the relative humidity.
It is raining

Relative humidity becomes the ratio between the actual amount of water vapor present to the capacity that the air has at a particular moment. Just to be an optimist, if the glass is half-filled, the relative humidity is 50 percent. If the glass is three-quarters filled, the relative humidity is 75 percent.

relative humidity
Relative humidity means the percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount that could be contained. Or the measure of the amount of water vapor that air is holding compared to the amount it can hold at a specific temperature. This is different at different temperatures. Here are a couple of sentences:1. The relative humidity is 10 percent.2. We studied relative humidity in class.3. Saturation air has a relative humidity of 100 percent.
As the sun goes down, the temperature drops and the capacity to hold water vapor in the air decreases increasing the relative humidity above 0 percent
The relative humidity when it is raining is generally considered to be 100% since if it was lower the rain would evaporate before it reach the ground.
This is the measure of relative humidity. At 50 percent relative humidity, the air is holding half of what it could. It is relative humidity because it is related to the temperature and pressure of the air.
