Spartanburg, SC – Temperatures across South Carolina are returning to typical levels today but are set to rise sharply by Thursday. According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, the region will see a significant temperature increase, with highs expected to surge by around 10 degrees above normal.
Areas like Greenville, Spartanburg, and Rock Hill could experience highs reaching the mid-90s. On Thursday, some locations might see temperatures nearing the upper 90s, which is about 10 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year.
This weather pattern is due to a high-pressure system moving into the area, bringing with it hotter and drier air. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours. The increase in temperatures could also elevate the risk of heat-related illnesses.
With the heat index pushing temperatures even higher, local officials recommend taking precautions, particularly for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children. Keep an eye on weather updates as the week progresses, and prepare for the upcoming heatwave.
