February weather forecast
South Carolina, USA

February signals the continuation of winter in South Carolina, albeit with a slight warming trend as the month progresses. Coastal areas of South Carolina, such as Charleston, experience temperatures ranging from 40°F (4.4°C) to 64°F (17.8°C). The Midlands, including cities like Columbia, although witnessing a subtle rise in temperatures, still encounter nights that can go below freezing.

Comparatively, the Upstate regions, especially near the Blue Ridge Mountains, remain colder than the rest of the state. These regions can have temperatures that occasionally drop substantially, especially during the early half of the month.

While February is still a winter month, it typically doesn't reach the extreme colds seen in January. Snowfall continues to be a rarity along the coast. In contrast, the interior, particularly the northwestern mountains, can accumulate some snow, though usually less than what's observed in January. Icy rain and sleet persist, especially in the Midlands and Upstate, but start to reduce in frequency as the month progresses.

As February draws to a close, South Carolina begins its transition towards the early hints of spring. When juxtaposed with January, February exhibits slightly milder temperatures and a gradual decrease in extreme winter events. However, when compared to the upcoming month of March, February remains cooler and more indicative of winter's grip on the state.
