Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
Everything you wanted to know about humidity but were afraid to ask http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

Humidity is the concentration of water vapor in the air. The concentration can be expressed as absolute humidity, specific humidity, or relative humidity. A device used to measure humidity is called a hygrometer. A humidistat is used to regulate the humidity of a building with a de-humidifier. These can be analogous to a thermometer and thermostat for climate control. Due to the changing partial pressure of water vapor in air as temperature changes, the water content of air at sea level can get as high as 3% at 30 °C (86 °F), and no more than about 0.5% at 0 °C (32 °F).

the amount of moisture or wetness in the atmosphere.Humidity is the concentration of water vapor in the air. The concentration can be expressed as absolute humidity, specific humidity, or relative humidity. The amount of humidity in an air controlled environment is an important issue in the air-conditioning industry. Humidity can make the temperature of the surrounding air feel like it is warmer than the actual temperature, because the cooling effect of evaporation from the skin is reduced.

On the simplest of terms Humidity is the percentage of water vapour present in the air.

Humidity is the amount of water that is suspended in the air due to variations of pressure and temperature, also affects pressure and temperature.
