What August feels like
August is when the swimming really happens — Pope Beach and Baldwin fill up and people stay in far longer than they did in June. It is also the smoke wild card: a fire anywhere upwind can flatten the view across to the west shore for days.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry.
