South Carolina Experiences Unseasonably High Temperatures Amidst Heat Wave
South Carolina is currently experiencing an extended period of above-normal temperatures due to a ridge of high pressure over the eastern United States. Temperatures are expected to reach the 90s across much of the state, with coastal areas slightly cooler in the 80s. This weather pattern is more typical of late June rather than mid-May. The high-pressure system is also suppressing thunderstorm activity, leading to very high UV Index levels.
