August in Qingdao — middling scores, decent value
Days in August average 27°C (81°F) and humidity near 82% — front-load outdoor plans before the heat builds and treat the middle of the day as indoor time.
This is the year's wettest stretch at 246 mm, but with about 22 days with 6+ hours of sunshine it is not a total loss; an indoor fallback covers the risk.

Pack the lightest breathable clothing you own, a hat, and more water than feels necessary, a proper rain shell rather than an umbrella.
Expect peak pricing, and this is one of the busiest months here.
