I’ve always heard people say “hopefully it’ll rain so it’ll break the humidity. “How does that work?

Humidity is water in the air. When it rains, it is the water in the air falling out as rainwater onto the ground.

This gives a period of respite, where the air is no longer saturated with water, the temperatures are a little cooler, and it generally feels better.

That is until the sun comes out and starts evaporating the pools and puddles and it gets sweltering hot and damp again.
