Greenville, SC – A sudden burst of mid-June-like weather is sweeping across South Carolina this afternoon, bringing unusually warm temperatures and high humidity to the Greenville-Spartanburg area. Highs are expected to climb into the low 90s, breaking records for early April.
According to the National Weather Service, the heat will be accompanied by high humidity, making conditions feel even warmer than the thermometer reads. Isolated thunderstorms could pop up in the northern mountains of North Carolina later today, but for the majority of the state, it’s a hot and sticky afternoon.
While the temperatures may resemble summer, the early April heat is expected to break by tonight. A cold front is expected to move through the region early next week, bringing more typical seasonal weather. Residents are advised to take precautions against heat exhaustion and stay hydrated during this unseasonably hot period.
As temperatures soar, the high heat and humidity are expected to make outdoor activities uncomfortable, so it’s a good idea to stay cool and limit exposure to the sun.
