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

Several people have already answered here (hot air can hold more water than cold air), but I thought I’d share an interesting consequence of this. If you reach 100% humidity, it’s hard for the temperature to go down. If the temperature lowers, the air can hold less water, the water condenses, water condensation releases heat, the air heats up and re-absorbs the water, this is a cooling process… and on and on.
