Weather in August
Temperature
Edison records an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.6°F (28.1°C) as August arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. Edison throughout August, experiences an average nighttime temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
