Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C) in August, hardly different from the 87.8°F (31°C) recorded in July. Throughout August, Edison witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 76%.Rainfall
In Edison, during August, the rain falls for 13.5 days and regularly aggregates up to 2.56" (65mm) of precipitation. In Edison, Tennessee, during the entire year, the rain falls for 154.3 days and collects up to 31.57" (802mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
In Edison, snow does not fall in April through October.Daylight
In August, the average length of the day is 13h and 29min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 6:04 am and sunset at 8:00 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:27 am and sunset at 7:24 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In Edison, the average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
