August in Jackson Hole has continued the warm, easy summer rhythm we saw in July—sunny days, cool and comfortable nights, and just the occasional afternoon thunderstorm rolling through to keep things green. Wildfire smoke has drifted in from time to time, bringing hazy skies and the occasional dip in air quality, but we’ve still had plenty of clear, bluebird stretches with sweeping views of the Tetons. Wildflowers have shifted into their late-summer mix, with fireweed, arrowleaf balsamroot going to seed, and asters and gentians picking up the color at higher elevations as the lower meadows begin to dry out. Due to a low berry production this year, bears will be pushed to search for alternative food sources, so people living by forest edges need to be extra mindful of securing trash, dog food, and removing bird feeders. As we head toward September, expect more of the same—warm afternoons, crisp mornings, and a chance of isolated thunderstorms—with smoke conditions likely to keep shifting depending on regional fire activity. Overall, it’s shaping up to be a great stretch to get outside before the pace of the valley starts to turn toward fall.

July in Jackson Hole has brought the kind of summer weather that makes it easy to spend as much time outside as possible. Most days have been warm and sunny, with cool, comfortable evenings and only the occasional afternoon thunderstorm rolling through. While wildfire smoke drifted into the valley at times, creating periods of hazy skies and affecting air quality on some days, there were still plenty of beautiful stretches with clear mountain views. July is peak wildflower season- lupine, fireweed, paintbrush, sticky geranium and more splash color across the valley and adding extra cheer to our hikes. As we head into August, conditions remain similar, with warm summer days, cool nights, and the chance for a few isolated thunderstorms from time to time. Smoke conditions will likely continue to vary depending on regional wildfire activity, but overall, the month is expected to offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy everything Jackson Hole has to offer outdoors.

While Jackson Hole remains as gorgeous as ever, dry conditions persist into early February, though upcoming weather patterns look more promising. A stubborn high-pressure system over the West will need to break down before meaningful snowfall can arrive. January did bring cooler-than-average temperatures, but that trend is already starting to shift. Since our last storm on January 10, snowfall has been limited to only a few light events.
