The higher the relative humidity is the lower rate of evaporation.

Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas, while relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature. A higher relative humidity means the air is already holding a lot of water vapor and so evaporation will be slower, while a lower relative humidity allows for faster evaporation as the air has more capacity to hold additional water vapor.
They both occur with evaporation and water vapor. Also they are part of a cycle together.
Relative humidity is the amount of moisture that the air can hold. The lower the relative humidity, the faster that evaporation will take place. Low relative humidity equals dry air.
The temperature determines the humidity.
Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas, increasing humidity in the air. As water molecules evaporate into the air, they increase the moisture content, contributing to higher humidity levels. Conversely, high humidity can slow down evaporation because the air is already saturated with moisture.
The relative humidity of chaparral can vary depending on factors such as temperature and time of day. Generally, chaparral regions have relatively low humidity, often ranging between 20% to 60%. However, during cooler or more humid periods such as mornings or after rainfall, the relative humidity can be higher.
Evaporation occur when intermolecular forces weakened.
Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of the atmosphere. The relative humidity is the ratio between the present water vapor content of the air and the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at the same temperature. Cool air will not hold as much water vapor as warmer air. With the same amount of moisture in the air, an increase in temperature decreases the relative humidity, and if the temperature drops, relative humidity increases.
