Created in 1986, the South Carolina State Climatology Office at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources archives and distributes climatological data to state agencies, educational and research institutions, and private citizens.
During 2026, South Carolinians experienced drought throughout the state, but the report Keystone Drought Events in South Carolina reveals that this is not the state’s first drought. In the March 2026 report, the State Climatology Office details significant drought events in the Palmetto State since 1900 and explores how these extreme weather events affected the people, agriculture, and economy of South Carolina.
