Weather in August
Temperature
Hanover's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C) from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C) in temperature. Hanover observes an average low-temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C) during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With prolonged exposure and constant activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
