Oh yes, you will need to use your humidifier on a regular basis here too. Maybe not in August or early September, but October thru April its almost mandatory.
We have very good climate control in our shop and the humidifiers have actually been kicking in the past couple days. Humidifying in July may be rare, but we have been having a few cool dry days.
This past winter was a real eye opener for the guitar industry, especially here in the Midwest. During a normal winter, we probably see 3-4 customers come in with cracked tops on their guitars. This past winter, we had 22 people bring in cracked guitars. Kind of sad to see. The repair shops in the Chicago area were backlogged 8 - 10 weeks.
It's doubtful you would be able to over humidify a guitar October thru April here in the Chicago area. But please, please, please keep your guitar in its case and use your humidifiers religiously.
Where are you going school ?
