Weather in August
Temperature
During August, The Highlands records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). An average nighttime temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) is witnessed throughout August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 75%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 21.5 days and accumulates 5.04" (128mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
April through October are months without snowfall.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9.2h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The UV index of 6 during August translates into the following guidance:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
