The only time this is likely to happen is when the sun back comes out after a huge rain. In general when the temperature goes up the relative humidity goes down. So it may be 75 degrees and 95% humidity around 8:00 AM but when the temperature is 90 degrees at 3:00 PM, the humidity has dropped to maybe 70%. Still high, but not crazy.
When I lived in the swamps of North Carolina it would hit 90/90 quite a bit.
After 10 years in AZ I start to cry when humidity gets above 30.
