This station is located in Greer, SC right outside the city of Greenville, in the County of Greenville. We have a somewhat continental type climate, with cool winters and hot summers, but also with abundant precipitation, averaging over 50 inches per year, and well distributed through the seasons. Most of this moisture comes from the Gulf of Mexico. Greenville, like much of the Piedmont region of the southeastern United States, has a humid subtropical climate, with four distinct seasons; the city is part of USDA Hardiness zone 7b/8a. Winters are short and generally cool, with a January daily average of 42.2 °F (5.7 °C). On average, there are 59 nights per year that drop to or below freezing, and only 1.3 days that fail to rise above freezing. April is the driest month, with an average of 3.36 inches (85 mm) of precipitation. We upload to numerous Weather Sites including Weather Underground and are extremely active on Twitter - @WeatherUpstate.
