August marks the peak of
Montserrat's wet season, characterized by high temperatures and substantial rainfall. The average rainfall during August reaches around 160mm (6.3"), showing a noticeable increase from the 140mm (5.51") experienced in
July. This month typically experiences the highest precipitation of the year, making it the wettest month in Montserrat.
In terms of temperature, August continues the trend of high heat with average temperatures ranging from 28°C (82.4°F) to 31°C (87.8°F). These hot conditions, combined with the heavy rainfall, create a highly tropical climate consistent with Montserrat's classification as having a tropical savanna climate.
When comparing August with its adjacent months, the substantial increase in rainfall from July is apparent, and rainfall remains high into
September. Likewise, the temperatures in August are similar to those in July, with only a marginal decrease expected as the island moves into September.
Despite Montserrat's small size, slight variations in weather conditions due to differing altitudes are observed. Areas around the Soufrière Hills Volcano, due to their higher elevation, might experience marginally cooler temperatures compared to lower lying regions.
While August does not hold any records for the highest temperatures in Montserrat, it is distinguished as the wettest month of the year. This results in a lush, tropical landscape teeming with life, but visitors should be prepared for the likelihood of heavy and frequent rain showers. It is also worth noting that August falls within the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from
June to
November, and thus there is a potential risk of hurricanes during this month.
