What August feels like
August is when the resort pools stay open late, because late is the only time they are pleasant, and the nights refuse to cool the way desert nights are supposed to. It is also the cheapest the good hotels get all year, if you can plan around the sun.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. Most afternoons push past 90°.
