COLUMBIA, S.C. — It's nice when you get to start your summer mornings outside. It's warm, so you don't need a jacket. It's not sweltering hot, even though you know later in the day it will likely be. However, you may notice that in the next several days, it will feel warmer than in past early summer mornings. The average morning low temperature for the start of the summer season, late June, is 69 degrees Fahrenheit in South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Friday marks the official start to Summer season and this is, climatologically when it starts to get hotter. The U.S. Southeast states, from the Lower Mississippi River Valley across to the Carolinas already have been dealing with abnormally warmer temperatures. Not breaking temperatures but for several days at time. Being unseasonably warmer may be an issue. However, there's a bigger issue to go along with the temperatures. It's the humidity.
