Good point.  Very high relative humidity.  You get wet just by walking through the air.

 

Where I stayed in Hawaii has a high relative humidity, between 60 and 90+%, but because the wind blows almost contantly, surfaces dry very quickly.  Interestingly enough, the relative humidity runs up and down that range in a matter of less than an hour.

Hawaii is substantially drier than many Tropical areas.  When I lived in the north east of Brazil if you did not wash cloths after wearing them they would have mold growing on them by the next day.  In humidity that thick (for lack of a better word) it takes very little difference in temperature to form a damp surface.
