What August feels like
August is the month Phoenix pools get chillers rather than heaters, which tells you most of what you need to know. It is also when the storms are likeliest to actually deliver, and the creosote smell that follows one is the best thing about summer here.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy. Most afternoons push past 90°.
