Great weather, salmon running
Juneau in August brings cooler conditions, with highs around 63°F, so pack layers alongside your warm-weather gear. August sees roughly 17 rainy days, so waterproof layers and flexible plans are wise. Showers are often short-lived but can be intense. Great weather, salmon running.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Juneau, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Dress in layers: a waterproof shell over a mid-layer handles the range between cool mornings and afternoon port temps.
