Garden City climate

Warm coastal weather, rain, cooling, drainage, and indoor choices shape the year

NOAA's Myrtle Beach station reports a 62.4 degree Fahrenheit annual mean temperature and 53.56 inches of annual precipitation for 1991 to 2020. It is a nearby station reference rather than a forecast for the home. Plan around heat, humidity, rain, and storm periods that shift outdoor plans.

Inspect air conditioning, dehumidification, insulation, windows, shade, roof, gutters, drainage, trees, power, water, internet, insurance, and the route to care. Keep the beach, meals, home activities, and indoor options available when rain or heat changes the day.
