Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The weather in Greenville is hot and humid in the summers, and cold and wet in the winters. However, the weather is much milder than any Northern winters or deep Southern summers. It does seem to rain a lot, so bring plenty of rain gear. But the rainy days are worth it when students are able to enjoy Furman’s lush green vegetation on warm spring days.

The most frustrating aspect of Greenville’s weather is its unpredictability. It can be sunny and warm one day, and cold and rainy the next. This makes the weather difficult
to prepare for, but the conditions are always bearable.
Furman has a beautiful fall, a little snow in the winter,
and a breezy, sunny spring.

Generic Weather...

There's nothing notable about the weather at Furman... It's in the South, so it's going to be warmer as compared to more Northern regions. But luckily, it's in the Upstate, so it's less humid here (as compared to the coastal or lowland regions of the South). It suns and rains (the former more so), and it gets colder in the winter, hotter when April rolls around).

Weather Can Make It Difficult to Get to Class

Since most people live on campus, you will most likely walk to class. It's nice most of the time, but if it is raining or something like that, it can be difficult. People don't drive to class - you only get a parking permit for one lot - usually the one by where you live. That means you're forced to walk up to a mile or so to class. Sure, you get your exercise in, but it can be rough if the weather's bad!

Mild

Greenville weather is so mild. It rains every once in a while and sometimes it's humid, but it's really not a big deal. However, with good weather comes huge cockroaches.
