What to pack

What August feels like

Peak monsoon, with storms that can turn a dry wash into a wall of water from miles away. The Narrows and the Subway close on flash-flood days, so build slack into the plan and treat the closures as the gift they are.

Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Most afternoons push past 90°.
