Georgetown climate
Warm coastal weather, rain, cooling, humidity, and hurricane planning shape the year
The nearby North Myrtle Beach station reports a 64.0 degree Fahrenheit annual average temperature and 48.47 inches of precipitation for 1991 to 2020. January averages 46.2 degrees and July averages 80.6 degrees, with 5.40 inches of July precipitation. This is a coastal proxy rather than a Georgetown forecast, so plan for heat, humidity, rain, and storm periods together.
Inspect air conditioning, dehumidification, insulation, windows, shade, roof, gutters, drainage, trees, power, water, internet, insurance, and the route to care. Keep Harborwalk, parks, meals, home activities, and indoor options available when rain or heat changes the day.
