The weather is unpredictable even in sunny, mild weathered John's Island, South Carolina.

The safest things you can do as a tourist is always check the weather before going to the beach or out boating in the Atlantic Ocean. You don't want a nasty storm to come out of nowhere and get caught out in it in your boat.

Hurricanes roll into the South Carolina Atlantic Coast area during the fall months and of course bring a lot of rain with them. When it rains it pours and it certainly does at John's Island in August. This month sees on average six to seven inches of rain.
