Temperature

In Cheraw, August is the month with the highest recorded average temperatures, measuring a high of 91.4°F (33°C) and a low of 72.5°F (22.5°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
