Definitely too high and a real mold risk. We keep our A/C at 81 when not there and our humidity rarely exceeds 60%, and if it does it’s only by 1-2%. It’s a good idea to keep a dehumidifier in the home as a cheap insurance policy. We keep one on the kitchen counter during the humid summer months so it can drain into the sink and set it to only run when the relative humidity reaches 60%. Prolonged humidity above 70% needs to be addressed ASAP.
