Best Time to Visit Charleston?
 

When's best time to visit Charleston w/trip to Kiawah: June thru Sept?

All of the months you mentioned would be extremely hot and humid - normally. I don't really know whats going on with our weather this year however. It is 1 week till June and so far its been colder than normal with alot more rain than usual.

In a normal year I would pick Sept. since kids are usually back in school then but that might not be important to you.

September is the best month. Beach rates will be shoulder season and downtown will be peak season rates.

It's also hurricane season, so caveat emptor where September is concerned. :-)

For crying out loud. If the poster should avoid Charleston during hurricane season then you might as well avoid the entire East Coast, state of Florida, Gulf Coast, Caribbean, West Coast, Hawaii, and Japan. Every other place on the planet should be hurricane free. Oh, I forgot about avoiding Thailand and the Phillipines.

I think the best time to visit Charleston is the spring. Flowers are in bloom by mid April and the weather is wonderful. We have family there and make a point of visiting every year in March or April. She comes to see us in July when it is unbearable in Charleston.

The best time for Charleston is OCTOBER or the week just before Easter...

Those are the times for the HOMES TOURS and it is terrific...Also , the weather is less humid at both those times....

My boyfriend and I went Labor Day weekend of last year and about melted! I would advise October. A beautiful place to see.

Charleston's humid heat does not bother me in the least, however, if it is a factor, you might want to consider October or April. April has the famous Spoleto Festival which is a must!

Spoleto Festival is in MAY- it starts Memorial Day Weekend...
