Weather in August
Temperature
Mason indicates an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) in August, showing minor variation from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). Mason's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. 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 risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
