What August feels like
August brings the tail of the monsoon up from the south: brief violent downpours that flood the gutters and are gone inside twenty minutes. It is also when the Great Salt Lake is at its lowest and dustiest, which the whole valley has learned to keep an eye on.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. Most afternoons push past 90°.
