Plan around August
August is shoulder season: good weather, a step below the best months (September).
- Last warm month for a while: September highs fall to 69°F.
- Inside the wettest three-month stretch, June – August.
- Comfort holds steady from July (71 → 72/100).
- Our Stowe, Woodstock & the White Mountains route recommends Dec – Mar, so August falls outside its suggested window.
