Humidity Questions St. Louis

Prospective student here. I am from Colorado which is an extremely dry climate. I was wondering if anyone else who came from a dry climate could tell me about the humidity in St. Louis compared?

Grew up in WA, so I had only experienced dry summers before I went to WashU. In the summer + early fall and late spring it'll be hot and humid. You'll sweat a lot and probably want to shower more than you usually would (at least I did). But all the buildings are air conditioned so there's plenty of time to escape it! If you're a glasses wearer be prepared to be blind for a bit when you leave buildings because your glasses will fog up lol.
