August weather forecast and climate
Vermont, USA

August lies in the peak tourist season of Vermont when the temperatures are hot and humid with a sprinkling of wet conditions. The mercury is in the average high range of 70°F (21.1°C) to 80°F (26.7°C) during the day, while it drops to the pleasant 50°F (10°C) to 60°F (15.6°C) range in the night. Sunny days often alternate with rainy conditions in between as August registers 4" (102mm) of rain across the state. The Ball Mountain Lake territory in Northern Vermont has pleasant weather in the 52°F (11.1°C) to 78°F (25.6°C) range with cool mornings and calm evenings.
Mountain slopes and lakes provide refreshingly colder conditions compared to the lowlands. It is an ideal time to climb Vermont's highest peaks such as Mount Mansfield, Killington Peak, Camel's Hump and Mount Abraham or to enjoy the serene water of the lakes and rivers. August is generally the last month when the weather permits to wear light clothes.
