April 5th in Greenville sits right in the heart of spring transition — 110 years of data puts the average high at 70° and the low at 45°, a classic mild-but-cool combo. The date has seen some wild swings though: an 89° scorcher back in 1934 and a bone-chilling 28° low in 1915. There's about a 1-in-3 chance of rain today, but snow is off the table entirely.
Greenville's all-time records tell the story of a city that knows real heat and real cold. The mercury hit 104° on July 9, 1977, and bottomed out at -4° on January 21, 1985 — a 108-degree spread between extremes. The wettest single day on record was a staggering 10.75 inches on September 16, 1999, almost certainly the influence of Hurricane Floyd.
Greenville runs hot — average highs climb to 90° in early July and don't drop back below 80° until October. If you're heat-averse, aim for January through March, when highs stay in the 50s and low 60s. Summer is also the wet season, with late July averaging the most rainfall at 1.59 inches per week, often from afternoon thunderstorms.
