I actually called the weatherman at the local TV station one time when I lived there. It was hot, natch, and as humid as you can imagine. It was 99* and 102% humidity the guy says. Seemed to me that 100% would be raining, and 100 is the top of the percentage scale, WTF?

Called down there, they put me on hold and the guy who was just on TV gets on the line. I ask him about that 102% jazz, and he tells me it is relative humidity. There is a certain confluence of temperatures, pressures and dewpoints that nets you a humidity greater than 100%. "Huh, what does that mean?"
