John's Island South Carolina is located just off Charleston on the intercoastal waterway. Right away you're probably thinking it must be too hot or too rainy to make for a comfortable locale but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The fact is John's island is situated perfectly for seasonably reasonable weather and is not as some people tend to assume a hurricane magnet.

For starters let's take a look at winter. The nice thing is you don't have to worry about a nasty one. The low temperature remains a surprisingly consistent 42-45 degrees Farenheit on average with highs that range from 57-64 degrees Farenheit. That's actually very nice and even allows for a round golf if you feel up to it. The breeze is no worse than any other season and the precipation is only a shade under three inches a month. Granted the winter isn't so nice you'll want to make a habit of frolicking half naked on the beach, but you won't have to hide under a parka either unless you happen to think that's a good look.

As spring approaches you'll notice a few changes, flowers blooming the the temperature ranging from the mid sixties to around eighty, and bikinis. That's correct, the final weeks of spring marks the beginning of bikini season so make sure you've stuck to your new year's diet plan unless like me you don't mind being a large mammal. The beach crowd comes out of hibernation slowly invading the coastline in serch of the perfect tan. The low temperature generally doesn't dip much below the low to mid fifties. Contrary to the popular children's ryhme it's March Showers that bring April flowers on John's Island but with an average seasonal rainfall just a hair over three inches you won't be needing to cancel your hiking plans.

The summer brings tourists, a run on skin lotions, and an average high temperature around eighty nine degrees. Don't think for a second it doesn't get hotter, it will touch a hundred once or twice but that is the exception rather than the rule. The lows make it far nicer haging around seventy seven drgrees or so which when coupled with a cool ocean breeze makes sitting on the beach with a drink in your hand and toes in the sand a favorite pasttime. With an average seasonal rainfall around 5.8 inches it is going to get humid at times but it isn't unbearable, that friendly breeze does make it more comfortable even whent the heat index is up to several points above what the mercury says. Of course this is the ideal weather for any outdoor activity. Golfing
