What August feels like
August is the peak of the monsoon here — more days with rain than any other month, which is a low bar in this desert but plenty to send waterfalls pouring straight over the canyon rims. The late light after a storm clears is the best photography of the year.
Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry. Most afternoons push past 90°.
