Humidity question.

I have seen all the weather charts for Ecuador for May and they give good info on temperatures however they dont mention the humidity level. Being on the Equator common sense would say it was very high like Borneo however i would like to know so i can plan on what clothes to throw in my backpack. I know i need warmish stuff for the high zones but humidity can be so draining if one has not dressed for it.

Any tips for May humidity welcome :}

Never felt any humidity in the Sierra but did in the Oriente and near the coastal areas quite often

Most of the country is on higher altitude (Quito - about 2700m) which means the climate is temperate with temps in low/mid 20s. It never gets too hot/humid, unless you stay at the coast or in Amazon region.
I was caught in a snow blizzard on Cotopaxi which is almost on the equator.
