Relative Humidity (RH), because of it's temperature dependency, is not a particularly useful metric. Dewpoint is a better quantity to look at for discomfort. Currently, our dewpoint is low by summertime standards - about 68. However, don't worry, it will be rise to more typical summertime values of the mid 70's, which is pretty uncomfortable. 88F with 70% RH is a dewpoint in the mid 70s.
