What August feels like
August is the wettest month here by volume, and the storms get organized enough to flood the underpasses along Independence. Panthers camp and the start of the high school season give the month a purpose it would otherwise lack.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 14 afternoons top 90°.
