Hiking and other outdoor sightseeing can be enjoyable in June, despite the heat and humidity, although they are best scheduled for the cooler mornings. Sunscreen is a necessity for people of all complexions, as is a hat. Bring an ample supply of water if you expect to be outdoors for any length of time, and seek shade during the hottest parts of the day.
Hurricane season runs from June through November. Although South Carolina is usually most impacted during the fall months, hurricanes and tropical storms are a possibility throughout the period.
