What August feels like

August is when everyone here starts watching the Gulf, and Pensacola's memory of Ivan means nobody treats the season lightly. The beach still throws its last big party of the summer, and the water is at its warmest of the year.

Rain arrives about 10 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. about 19 afternoons top 90°.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 87° — bath-warm.
