Anyone know what "relative humidity" means? Relative to *what* is my

It is relative to how much water the air could contain at that temperature.
If it is 100% it can hold no more and hence it rains (or snows). Similarly
the dew point is the temperature at which the current air will become 100%
saturated and start condensing on cool objects.
