That is not surprising, since the outside temperature is 63 degrees and the humidity is 82 percent. My current inside humidity is 55 percent, and it has a 24 hour range of 50 to 60 percent. Today is a very humid day. The humidity should decrease when it gets hot enough for the AC to kick on. One thing that will keep your humidity high is leaving a window open.
I would suggest buying several humidity measuring devices and place them in different rooms, including your garage. These devices are very inexpensive from Amazon. There are some devices that will show the high and low readings over a 24 hour period. Measuring the relative humidity is usually not as accurate as measuring temperature.
