Seems very odd to me - without heat, how would humidity be dangerous enough to stop play? Seems to me the heat is a much bigger problem (and those of you who have some knowledge in the area would know that if you have 95% humidity, you're not going to be in the 90's in temperature).
I was joking, but with high amounts of humidity if pushes up the heat index and the players and officials will dehydrate much quicker and they will need more water.
