You measure humidity with a psychrometer. It is a tool that has 2 thermometers connected to either side of a piece of material. One of the thermometers is normal and the other one has a wet sock on it. To use the psychrometer you spin it for 2 minutes or so and you take the temperature on the dry bulb thermometer (the normal one) and take the temperature of the wet bulb thermometer (the one with the wet sock on it). The wet one will dry out more if there is less moisture in the air because as you are spinning it you are evaporating the water into the air. The dryer air can hold more water than moist or humid air. By comparing the two numbers you can figure out the wet bulb depression, the dewpoint, and the relative humidity.
