August continues the summer warmth in
Wyoming, although the month often serves as a transitional period leading into autumn. Average low temperatures hover between 50°F (10°C) and 60°F (15.6°C), similar to
July, but average high temperatures begin to show subtle signs of cooling. In the plains, high temperatures usually stay below the July peak, often reaching up to 85°F (29.4°C). In higher elevations, the climate remains moderate with temperatures typically between 70°F (21.1°C) and 75°F (23.9°C).
When compared to July, August offers slightly shorter days and a small decrease in temperature, indicating the impending arrival of fall. While wind speeds generally lessen, winds can still provide a cooling relief during hot spells. Thunderstorms remain a weather event to watch for, although their frequency starts to diminish as summer winds down. August stands as the last month of peak tourist activity, especially in Wyoming's national parks. Trails remain open, and the state’s diverse flora starts showing early signs of the coming autumn, offering a different yet equally appealing natural spectacle.
