What August feels like
The chile roasters come out in late August and the whole city smells like them — parking lots, road shoulders, grocery stores, all turning drums over propane flames. Storms keep rolling through, and the nights cool off enough that air conditioning becomes optional.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy. about 17 afternoons top 90°.
