Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), a near match to July's 88°F (31.1°C). Throughout August, Edenton anticipates an average low-temperature of 70.5°F (21.4°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
The months with the highest humidity are August, September and December, with an average relative humidity of 79%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 19.1 days and accumulates 3.98" (101mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Daylight
In August, the average length of the day is 13h and 29min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:14 am and sunset at 8:11 pm. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 6:37 am and sunset at 7:35 pm EDT.
Sunshine
In Edenton, the average sunshine in August is 10h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
