The sentence that contains a predicate adjective is the fourth one: "The weather today seems very <u>humid</u> to me".
<u>A predicate adjective is an adjective that comes after a linking verb</u>, that is, a verb that connects a subject to its predicate.<u> In this sentence, the linking verb </u><u>"seems"</u><u> is connecting the subject to a predicate adjective (</u><u>"humid"</u><u>)</u>.
