So in the past month we have experienced the weather in Charleston, SC… Sunny and warm!
But what we have also learned is that, spring takes like a week here: 1 week of “cold” weather, and even 1 night of freezing (low 30’s a.k.a -3°C), suddenly you see everyone with winter hats and scarves, while we were finally experiencing some weather we were used to. For one week everyone was complaining about the cold and nothing else, like it was the worst thing ever! For us this meant putting on a sweater.
And then out of nowhere from one day to the next, high 70’s tot 80’s (25-30°C). Spring was over and summer had begun. This also means that the summer showers are about to begin.
This means that in the morning everything is fine and dandy, very hot and sunny. But between 14h and 18h all hell breaks loose. We Belgians are used to a little rain, but this is apocalyptic amounts of water coming down, which is why it is not surprising to me at all that parts of the city floods from time to time. But no worries after 18h (meaning after working hours) the sky will have cleared and the sun will be back!
Yesterday we had the fun of experiencing our first thunderstorm. We had come home at the exact right moment, right before all hell broke loose!
And today it’s “cloudy”
