Late August can be warm and humid, but not too bad. I live in Des Moines, Iowa and St Louis is always about 10 degrees warmer than here. Also, St Louis is in the heart of the country and the weather can be changeable and extreme. It really rains there–so an umbrella and a raincoat w/hood is a must. St Louis winters are much more bearable than Iowa winters, but still you will need winter gear because it can get cold and it snows there once in awhile. I LOVE Wash U! I’m so excited for your freshman S or D----after orientation you will understand what I mean (parent/student orientation is unbelievable)! It was so sad for me when it came time to leave S, but now after almost 2 years–no regrets. Best college ever for our S!
