"Humid" is a muggy or damp feeling in the air. It is caused by having enough water vapor in the air to inhibit our ability to cool off by evaporation. In low-humidity areas, such as deserts, we have to opposite of "humid," or a "dry heat," where the air has very little water vapor in it, and sweat evaporates as quickly as it forms.
Humidity is expressed as a percentage; this is a measurement of how much of the air's "maximum" capacity for holding water vapor is used. At high humidity, it turns foggy or misty, and at 100% humidity, it rains.

When water vapour is present in air,then the air is said to be humid - otherwise,the air is dry.

Sweaty weather.
Lots of water in the air. Think sauna, as opposed to oven.
