The climate of Spartanburg (South Carolina
- United States of America)
Spartanburg is located in the western part of South Carolina. Because
of its large variety in nature this region was used as a hunting
ground by its original inhabitants. Later on European fur traders and
loggers came to this region. The rivers in this region were used for
their waterpower, all along their banks cotton mills were built.
Remains dating back to these early colonial times can still be found
here. Several mills can still be found along the river and the
Hamptons Heights Historic District is the best preserved part of
Spartanburg. Nowadays Spartanburg is known by petrolheads as the place
which is BMW’s only US production facility for a limited number of
models. Spartanburg has a warm maritime climate with warm summers,
mild winters and fairly high annual precipitation figures. The climate
is influenced by the ocean causing fairly stable temperatures and the
supply of moist air. During the winter temperatures only drop a few
degrees below freezing point. Extremely cold winters are uncommon.
However, snow may fall during the winter. Summers are pleasantly warm.
However, during the summer heavy showers and thunderstorms are not
uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
