The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 78°F around June 27, short of 90°F on every date, while 216 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 13°F near December 22.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 12, then returns to freezing around October 10, covering 216 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 2, when 55% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 20 at 10%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 78 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 36°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Greer Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 216 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 36°F between the normal high and low.
Greer earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Greer runs a summer-peaked wet season
48% of Greer's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is August at 4.8", on a 33.3°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: August, July, September, taking 58% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: June at 0.5".
- Winter share: 16% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Greer's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 78 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 19.3" between them, or roughly 0.25 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Data-derived climate profile
How Greer's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Greer's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,582 annual heating degree days against 11 for cooling. Its 33.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 116 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Greer's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 33.3°F. The annual average is 44°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Greer's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 19.3 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Greer's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Greer, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
