The heat (especially when combined with the state's infamous humidity) and hurricane season, which peaks in August and September, are two weather-related concerns to keep in mind while drift hunters planning an excursion in South Carolina.

"From late April to early June, and early September to late October, you'll get all the benefits of warm weather without it being too overbearingly humid."
