About this data
These are NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals for the North Myrtle Beach Airport station (ID USW00093718), elevation 10 m (about 32 ft), about 8 miles northeast of the middle of our Myrtle Beach listing pins. NOAA computed the high-temperature normal from 21 years of data, the low from 20 and precipitation from 21; its completeness flags for these values are R ("S" standard, "R" representative, as defined in NOAA's documentation). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast: any given week can be much warmer, colder, wetter or drier.
NOAA does not publish a complete monthly snowfall normal for this station, so this guide does not list snowfall.
Packing notes from the numbers
- Average lows are between 33°F and 45°F in January, February and December, so a jacket is useful after dark.
- Average precipitation is 4 inches or more in June, July, August, September and October. A rain jacket or umbrella is worth packing.

Before you book a Myrtle Beach rental
- For July and August, when average highs are 85°F or more, confirm the rental has air conditioning in the bedrooms, not just the living area.
