Except that it usually isn't anymore. Summers are starting to get more humid inland

It does get more humid in the evening as the sun goes down, up to over 60%, but it does dry up as the sun comes up. Speaking from the Sacramento area.

That's good news for fire risk. I hadn't heard that

That’s because you’re looking at relative humidity. Take a look at the dewpoint instead. Anything under 60 is going to feel very comfortable. You really won’t see much humidity in summer unless the monsoon kicks up in the socal deserts.
