What's the coolant level like? Is there oil in there? What does the oil look like? Gunky? You may have a blown head gasket.

High humidity, (muggy), air cannot hold anymore moisture at a given temperature, cold exhaust, product of combustion is water= visible water vapor.
Watch your neighbors cars when they start up and see if you see anything from their exhaust. Could be that you are pitching more moisture from the tailpipe than most. How is the van running and gas mileage?
