What August feels like
The serious part of hurricane season starts now, and locals keep half an eye on the tropics from here through October. Rain picks back up and the afternoon storms are welcome, but nights don't cool off enough to change anything.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.
