South Carolina is in the temperate zone, which means the climate is fairly middle-of-the-chart: not too hot or too cold most of the time, though it is very humid because of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, so it feels hotter or colder than it actually is. Rainfall is pretty average, too, with no desert areas of the state, nor any rainforests.

Geography includes mountains in the northern part of the state, sand hills in the middle part (where the coast used to be millions of years ago), coastal plains and salt marshes, and sandy barrier islands.

South Carolina has mild winters. The southern portion is the warmest. Temperatures decline to the northwest. Summers are very warm in South Carolina, with generally even temperatures.
