dgodwin offers a great link there. The take home message Mike is that when the dewpoint is high, evaporation is low. And since a vast majority of the heat that leaves our tanks does so through evaporation, when it's rate is low, the tank temp will tend to rise AND be much more difficult to cool.
For example, on saturday when my in-room dewpoint was about 55f and the air temp was 70f my tank was 80f at lights out. Yesterday when I measured my in-room dewpoint of 62 before lights out and the room temp was still the same (70f) the tank had crept up to 83f. Even air conditioners can struggle when there's this much humidity
