March weather forecast
South Carolina, USA

March marks the beginning of the transitional phase from winter to spring in South Carolina. Coastal cities like Myrtle Beach experience temperatures ranging from 46°F (7.8°C) to 70°F (21.1°C), indicating a noticeable warming trend from the preceding months.

The Midlands, with cities such as Columbia, begin to see a consistent rise in temperatures. Nights become milder, and the chances of temperatures dropping to freezing levels significantly diminish. The Upstate areas, closer to the Blue Ridge Mountains, although warmer than in February, still experience cooler conditions, especially during the early mornings and late evenings.

March stands out for its increasing day lengths and the visible signs of spring. Trees start budding, and flowers begin to bloom, especially in the latter half of the month. Snowfall is an infrequent event, even in the interior and mountainous regions. The chances of icy rain and sleet drop drastically, making way for spring showers more typical of the season.

Compared to February, March in South Carolina is distinctly warmer and more temperate. The weather becomes increasingly unpredictable with occasional rain showers, but the oppressive cold of winter is largely left behind. As the state transitions into April, the warmer and wetter conditions of spring become more pronounced, with March serving as the gateway to this seasonal shift.
