AT THEIR BEST IN AUGUST

UNITED STATES

August is the last full month of summer for much of the northern hemisphere. For the northern part of the United States, the weather is reaching a peak. The beach areas featured in this month will generally have their warmest waters of the year. As a rule of thumb, you can usually assume that if a place is at its best in a particular month, then the months on either side of the featured month will have pretty good weather too.
