Detailed monthly averages for temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and daylight duration.
The annual climate profile for Ed Jenkins National Recreation Area characterizes long-term atmospheric patterns using NASA POWER data from 1991 to 2020. This data set tracks average monthly temperature extremes, precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours at a single representative coordinate. These records define the baseline climatology for the area rather than current weather conditions or short-term forecasts.
