What August feels like

August is the hardest month to be here, and the town is honest about it: restaurants close for a few weeks and the staff go to the coast. A monsoon cell can drop enough water in an hour to close stretches of Highway 111.

Rain is genuinely rare — most years, August stays dry start to finish. Most afternoons push past 90°.
