August sits in a narrow window where Burlington golf is as warm and nearly as calm as it gets — but rain remains a persistent factor. At 78°F average high and 10.2 mph peak wind, temperatures and breezes are both close to ideal. The catch is 18 precipitation days, tying August with January as the second-wettest month of the year. That's not a typo. Burlington's humid continental summers keep afternoon showers on the table most weeks.
The daily swing from 63°F low to 78°F high is a manageable 15 degrees, so morning rounds start comfortable and rarely turn oppressive. The Variable tier badge on this page reflects that combination honestly: great when it's clear, but clear days need to be seized when they appear.
With 18 precipitation days spread across the month, morning tee times before noon give you the best odds of beating afternoon showers on warm August days. Book early in the week when a multi-day forecast is reliable enough to pick the drier window rather than committing a weekend slot two weeks out. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
Coming out of July, you lose only 2°F of high temperature and one precipitation day — August feels nearly identical in warmth but fractionally drier. The bigger shift happens leaving August: September drops the average high by 7°F to 71°F, sheds six precipitation days down to 12, and nudges peak wind up slightly to 10.8 mph, making it noticeably drier and cooler but arguably more reliably playable. If rain bothers you more than a sweater morning, September is the cleaner month; if you want the warmest turf conditions Burlington offers, August is your last real chance.
Climate normals show the long-term picture, but day-to-day weather varies. Check today's live golf weather score for Burlington, VT for the current playability rating, hourly wind, temperature, and the recommended tee time window.

August offers Burlington's second-warmest average high at 78°F and second-calmest peak winds at 10.2 mph, so conditions feel close to ideal when skies cooperate. The problem is 18 precipitation days — tied for second-most of any month — which means rain interruptions are a real planning factor. Booking a weekday round after checking a short-range forecast gives you a better shot at a clean 18 holes than a fixed weekend tee time set weeks in advance.
August is warmer by 7°F and calmer by 0.6 mph, but carries six more precipitation days than September's 12. September trades some warmth for noticeably more reliable dry weather and the early fall foliage backdrop that starts appearing on the Champlain Valley courses. If your priority is drier conditions over warmer temperatures, September edges August out.
