Local climate
- USDA hardiness zone
- 8b (15°F to 20°F)
- Typical temperature range
- Average monthly temperatures in Cayce run from a 37°F low in January to a 95°F high in July.
- Terrain
- Cayce sits on the west bank of the Congaree River on rolling sandhills, drained by Six Mile Creek and Congaree Creek, with elevations between about 130 and 260 feet.
- Growing challenge
- Cayce has two soil stories in one city. Floodplain soils follow the Congaree River and the creeks and hold water; the upland sandhill soils drain fast and dry out. Two lawns a few streets apart can have opposite watering problems.
