How do you measure the humidity?

my wall clock has both temperature and humidity dials on it.

12:15 now and its 33C and 66% humidity. I take the edge off it by having the aircon running on a timer so I get about half an hour to get to sleep before it turns off. It's way too expensive to run all night
