Greenville, South Carolina – A relentless stretch of summer heat has put Greenville-Spartanburg’s all-time temperature record in jeopardy as 90°F-plus days continue to scorch the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, Tuesday marked the 32nd consecutive day of 90°F or higher at the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport. The standing record is 38 days, set back in 1993. While slightly cooler air is expected to arrive Wednesday and Thursday, high temperatures will still hover near 90°F across Upstate South Carolina, Western North Carolina, and parts of the Charlotte metro. Forecasted highs include 90°F in Greenville, Spartanburg, Concord, and Rock Hill, with Monroe reaching 92°F.
The heat is impacting travel, utilities, and daily routines. Residents in Anderson, Greenwood, and Gaffney are urged to limit outdoor activity, hydrate frequently, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Local schools and businesses are monitoring indoor temperatures and may adjust schedules if the streak continues. Power companies recommend reducing afternoon energy use to ease grid demand.
With six days left to tie the record, the region remains on alert. Cooler temperatures are possible by late week, but the all-time mark could fall if the pattern holds. Updates and heat advisories remain possible as this historic streak continues.
