Rare July Cold Front Brings Cooler Temperatures and Rain to South Carolina
South Carolina is set to experience a significant shift in weather conditions starting Thursday, July 23, 2026, as a rare July cold front moves into the state. According to Chief Meteorologist Tim Miller, such cold fronts seldom reach this far south during summer months, but when they do, they often stall and bring heavy rainfall. This front is expected to lower temperatures and increase rain chances statewide, providing relief from the recent stretch of dangerous heat. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast daily, with heavier rain likely during evening hours. The increased cloud cover and precipitation will also help alleviate drought conditions in some areas.
