I'm going to be near Arnhem from 20 of Aug till 21 of Sep this year so I would like to know about weather and temp. and something about the city - prices of food and drink, health food stores, working hours (shops)...

Weather can be warm, with a top of about 35C or 100 F in extreme warm weather but is more likely to be moderate, between 15 and 25C, (sorry I do not know F for these temps).
It can be sunny for the periode but rain is always to be expected in the Netherlands.
If you shop in a supermarket you should be able to get a weekly food supply for about 25 to 50 Euro, dining out will cost you more than that for one decent dinner. (But cheap and filling meals can be found for about 10 Euro if you are happy with fast food and pizza joints.)
Drinking (serious drinking nights out) will be costly, I do not do them, but check the prices if you are on a budget.
A drink in town can be anything from 2 Euro up to 5 Euro, depending on what you drink and where.
Health food stores are available, do a google search for them if you can not find one localy.
I do not live near enough to know where you need to go.
Stores are mostly open 9 to 6, some small ones will close already at 5, supermarkets often stay open late, till 8 or 9, there is one late night shopping where also the small shops stay open till 9.
Saturday hours are slightly shorter, and Sundays most shops are closed, although there might be one shopping Sunday in the month, where some center of town shops will open.
For any specific questions you can not find answers for, contact the tourist information office:

They also have info about shops and so on.

well the weather can be between 10 and 25 degrees C. , it's not predictable in the netherlands. Arnhem is a nice cute town, with a nice centre. To go out at night i can advise to ask for the "korenmarkt" which is a quarter with all bars , discotheques, and restaurants. (several pizzeria's, chinese, french fries, shoarma....all kind of stuff). In the neighbourhood of the central station , there is a nice park, the sonsbeekpark, where every now and than are concerts. In arhem nord you'll also find the burger's zoo, which is really big and interesting, with safari, bush and desert. directly next to it, you'll find the open air museum , where you can watch the "old" netherlands walking around in a 4Ha forrest. with all kinds of old houses and buildings, ancient workers, and several demostrations. in the direct environment of arnhem there are natural parks (hoge veluwe , posbank) , and about 20 minutes by car from arnhem there is the town nijmegen which is also worth a visit.

Yep, Burger's Zoo is awesome. You should also try the Arnhem Filmhuis for a fun movie-going experience. You'll also be fairly close to the Hoge Veluwe, which is a really beautiful place.
