What August feels like
By mid-August the school groups are gone and Virginia families are back at work, so the Historic Area gets pleasantly sparse just as the air gets heaviest. Remnants of tropical systems occasionally track up the James this time of year and dump rain for a day.
Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 10 afternoons top 90°.
