Why does humidity increase as temps drop late in the day?

Do not live near bodies of water. Also in the US south where we’ve had excessive heat warnings. I suppose the sun plays into it, but help me understand please. Thank you

It doesn’t. Relative humidity does however.

Colder air can hold less amount of water.

Therefor, lowering the temperature while maintaining the same amount of water means the air is more ”saturated’ with water. (= Higher relative humidity)
