What August feels like
The hottest stretch of the year, and the point at which the lawns are past saving. High school football starts practicing in it while everyone else is out at Grapevine or Possum Kingdom, or simply not outside at all.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. Most afternoons push past 90°.
