South Carolina Drought Relief in Rain

South Carolina’s drought is easing thanks to relentless rain—but relief isn’t total. While nearly 80% of the state was once in extreme drought, that’s now down sharply, though all areas remain abnormally dry and a third still face extreme conditions. Some regions soaked with over a foot of rain in May, triggering flooding and record-breaking wetness, while others like Myrtle Beach lag behind average. The wet streak continues this weekend with 1–3 inches more expected, and June may bring more typical showers. An emerging El Niño could shape whether the Southeast stays wet or dries out this summer.
