Why is there high relative humidity in basements in the summer?

1) Warm air can hold/contain more water vapor than cool air.
2) Relative humidity is a measure of how much water is in the air as compared to the maximum it can hold.
Thus if you take some warm summer air and send it into a nice cool basement, the air will cool and as cool air can hold less water than the warm air, the relative humidity of the cooled air in the basement will go up.

Does an open swimming pool evaporate more in the summer or high heat days. Our pool seems too.?
the rate a pool evaporates at depends on the relative humidity. If the climate in summer in your area has a low relative humidity and it is hot you Will tend to lose more water. You must keep in mind also the fact that in the Summer the pool is used and with people going in and out of the water there is also a loss created.

How do you put the word relative humidity in a sentence?
The relative humidity is very high today. It is the fraction of water vapor in the air expressed as a percentage of the level where it condenses to a fog.
