Fall Festivities Are Here in Charleston!
Hey there, Charleston! As we step into the fall season, there’s a delightful shift in the air. The mornings are becoming just a tad cooler, and that’s the perfect cue for all of us to start thinking about autumn festivities. From local markets to vibrant festivals, there’s no shortage of things to do in our beautiful city this time of year.
Weather Check!
Before jumping into the fun, let’s talk about the weather for today. You might wake up to some partly cloudy skies, and as the day progresses, those clouds will thicken, possibly bringing in some showers later on. Expect a high of around 83°F, with light winds to keep things comfortable. The chance of rain stands at about 60%, so it might be a good idea to carry an umbrella if you plan on being outdoors. Tonight, we’ll enjoy some more clouds, with a shower or two possible, and a low of 68°F. The rain chance dips down to about 40%. So, it could be a cozy evening!
