Yes, you are correct. That is relative humidity. It is my understanding that relative humidity is the measurement of moisture that air can handle or asborb. As air gets colder it becomes less able to absorb the moisture, thus reaching a condensation point. This is why we still measure relative humidity even when it is cold outside. Condensation will cause your parts to rust even if the air is cold.
