What August feels like
August is when the college football scrimmages start and the city's mood shifts, even while the heat holds. Storms keep coming through, and the Beltline does not really fill up again until after dark.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 14 afternoons top 90°.
