Most humid place on the planet (in the most humid month)?

Relative humidity alone is completely and utterly meaningless in assessing humidity (i.e., the amount of water vapour in the air).

The most humid place on the planet would probably be somewhere on the Persian Gulf in August.

No. There's only ever a few days where it's muggy. You're always aware that it's humid, but it's never really hot enough to feel too uncomfortable.

Based on google results, Kyoto has 96% of humidity right now ( 4 Nov )

My yard is pretty close in the core summer months when we are stuck in a reverse west wind flow. Lows around 77 to 82 and dewpoints around 74 to 82 and almost no rain and solid sunshine. Nothing worse than a west wind blowing off of nasty 90 degree gulf water temps.
