Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C) from July's 84.2°F (29°C). Throughout the month of August, East Rutherford witnesses an average temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 71%, August is the least humid month.Rainfall
In East Rutherford, in August, during 17 rainfall days, 2.8" (71mm) of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 162.7 rainfall days, and 29.72" (755mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In East Rutherford, the average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 during August translates into the following directions:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. 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. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
