If you like the idea of four
seasons, although not very distinct, then you will certainly enjoy our
delightful Hilton Head Island weather . Much to our advantage, the local
climate is considered to be semi-tropical. The mid-winter temperature will
customarily range from about the 60ºs during the day to the lower
40ºs at night. The spring and fall seasons are an absolute delight with
mild day and evening temperatures.
