NOTES:
- Temperatures are degrees F, precipitation is inches of liquid. All
normals are based on the period 1981-2010.
- RH Year=Year of record high, RH Low=Year of record low. Temperature
records for Charleston began in 1901.
- HDD=Heating degree days, CDD=Cooling degree days
- An asterisk (*) after the year of occurrence of record highs and lows
indicates the record was reached more than once, with the indicated
year being the most recent.
- Daily normal precipitation/snowfall values are more appropriate for calculating
normals over a period of at least several days, rather than on a strict
day-to-day basis.
- Averages/totals may differ slightly from expected due to rounding.
