I’m hoping this heatwave isn’t going to be as awful, looking like the humidity is a great deal less, ~40% instead of ~70%

I wish I had your optimism! I didn’t realise the UK’s humidity could go below 60% (I must admit I don’t exactly keep an eye on it all the time).

The ground has been dried out. It doesn’t happen often.
Also humidity is relative. Hot air holds a lot more water. The same amount of water will have a lower humidity, for a higher temperature.
