How to Read It

  • Coast vs mountains: in July Charleston’s normal high is 88F and Caesars Head’s is 78F; the escarpment stations run cooler all year.
  • Rain: Caesars Head has the wettest normal year here (74.2 in) and Rock Hill the driest (42.4 in). Summer storms make June to September the wettest months on the coast.
  • Snow: only some stations carry a snow normal. The highest annual figures are Caesars Head 7.3 in; Greenville-Spartanburg Airport (Greer) 3.9 in; Clemson 2.2 in; Columbia 1.2 in.
  • Station names: each row is one NOAA station; an airport station can read a degree or two off a downtown one (compare the two Charleston rows).

What We Could Not Confirm

Not confirmed: we looked for these on official pages and did not find them. Check with the town or operator before you rely on them.

  • Ocean water temperature by month is not in this table: NOAA's coastal water temperature guide is not part of the 1991-2020 normals we read.
  • Hurricane season dates and storm odds are not in this dataset; see the National Hurricane Center for those.
