What month is the most dangerous for hurricanes in South Carolina?
September is the month when the most hurricanes have hit the
USA, with 104 landfalling hurricanes since 1851. On average, South
Carolina experienced a land-falling hurricane roughly every seven
years. Between 1851 and 2016, 8 hurricanes made landfall along the
coast of South Carolina including three major hurricanes: Hurricane
Hugo (1989), Hurricane Gracie (1959), and Hurricane Hazel (1954).
During that time, 2 hurricanes hit in August, 3 in September, and 3
in October so it's tough to say which of those 3 months is most
dangerous. The most recent to hit was Hurricane Matthew, which hit
in October 2016.
