August sits between two familiar months, but it has its own identity on Akron's courses. Coming out of July, you lose two degrees off the high — barely noticeable — while wind actually eases to 9.5 mph, the calmest reading of the year. The catch is the rain: 18 precip days matches July exactly, meaning roughly every other day sees some form of precipitation. Temperatures are comfortable by the numbers, with highs at 81°F and lows at 64°F, but the combination of humidity and frequent showers keeps the Variable tier honest.
The upside is that August mornings can be genuinely pleasant for golf in Akron. That 17°F daily swing means early tee times start cool enough to walk comfortably before afternoon heat and storm cells build. The windows are there; they just require attention to the forecast.
With 18 precip days spread across the month, booking a morning tee time — ideally before 9 AM — gives you the best odds of finishing before afternoon thunderstorms form. Weekday slots also open up faster after mid-August as summer schedules wind down, so flexibility on day of the week pays off here. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
July and August are nearly identical in Akron — same 18 precip days, a negligible 2°F drop in the high, and wind that actually improves slightly from 10.1 mph down to 9.5 mph. The real change comes on the back end: September sheds six rain days and drops the high another 6°F to 75°F, making it noticeably more manageable on the course. If you're choosing between the three months, August is a coin-flip with July but a clear step below September.

It's workable but not the easiest month. Highs reach 81°F and the wind is actually at its calmest all year at 9.5 mph, which are genuine positives. The problem is 18 precip days — tied for the most of any month — so interrupted rounds are a real possibility without careful scheduling.
September is a meaningful upgrade: the high drops to 75°F, rain days fall from 18 to 12, and the overall pace of afternoon storms slows down. August has slightly calmer wind (9.5 mph vs. 9.8 mph in September), but that difference is negligible compared to six fewer rain days making September rounds far more predictable.
