Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Bostic sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), subtly shifted from July's 90°F (32.2°C). Bostic's average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) in August reflects a significant disparity from the daytime highs.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 6 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
