I dont remember seeing anything saying you couldnt the last time I was there, not that its something I would fancy I think my legs would fall off
Unless the forecast is unusually poor for August you'd be fine with shorts, t-shirt, and a windproof (perhaps a hat too if you intend to stop for more than 5 minutes).
It'll be rammed with people whichever route you take, perhaps try another hill in Snownonia, there are a few about.

Lol we biked upthere a few years agoWe had a bunch of people from work go up there in the middle of May and this is one of their photographs:
Expect the worst no matter when you go.
was almost hot on the way up till we got to within 500 yards of the summit then went foggy almost blizzard conditions at the top
3 hours to get up 25 minutes down

For those who like to plan ahead, I guess it's fortunate that the weather forecast tends to give an idea of the expected weather for a few days ahead
Remeber that the weather on most hills can change very quickly - so even if you were to buy clothes on the same day, it wouldn't be of much benefit to you.
Use the weather forecast as a guide - in general, expect the weather to cool off and the wind to pick up as you climb higher.
Some days you'll get lucky and have a fabulous day all the way to the top. Other days you can start out in perfect sun, and end up walking through hail and strong winds nearer the top.
