As of November 9, 2025, residents have been alerted with a Freeze Watch effective from Monday evening through Tuesday morning. With temperatures expected to drop to a brisk 14°F, it’s time to bundle up and take caution.
What’s in Store for the Week?

Watch Out for Frost!
One of the most pressing concerns with this freeze watch is its potential impact on local agriculture and personal gardens. Frost and freeze conditions could certainly wreak havoc on crops and sensitive plants. It’s best to take precautionary steps: drain in-ground sprinkler systems, remove hoses, and remember to cover any above-ground pipes to prevent freezing.
What’s New in November?
Historically, November in Rock Hill has charmingly typical weather with average highs around 61°F and lows nearing 44°F. But this upcoming freeze is set to be notably harsher than what’s typically experienced at this time of year, which usually includes about 6 rainy days and a total of about 4.59 inches of rainfall.
Fun fact: the average relative humidity in November is about 71%, making for some particularly brisk mornings and evenings, especially when the sun—typically shining for about 5.8 hours—sets earlier in the day.
Stay Warm and Safe!
Now, let’s talk about some important safety tips. Exposure to freezing temperatures can pose health risks, so it’s highly advised that individuals dress warmly and limit their time outdoors when temperatures drop. Also, homes might experience increased heating demands during this chilly period, leading to higher energy consumption. It’s an excellent opportunity to think about energy-efficient heating methods!
Local Community Efforts
As the cold sweeps over the city, be sure to check on your elderly neighbors and those who may need a helping hand as they face rough weather. There might also be local warming centers opened to give residents a place to stay cozy. Besides, don’t forget to stay plugged into local news for updates about school delays, business hours, or any adjustments by public transportation.
Mind the Wildlife
With the temperature dropping, wildlife will also be seeking shelter. Be cautious—leave food sources secured. And let’s not forget about plumbing! Insulating water pipes is crucial. This way, you won’t end up with a burst pipe in the dead of winter!
Things to Look Forward to
As this bitter chill passes, expect the temperatures to gradually rise back to typical November averages. And while Rock Hill usually doesn’t see snowfall from April through November, the upcoming freeze may remind us that winter is just around the corner.
In essence, be sure to stay warm and keep an eye on weather updates. Prepare for the cold and engage with our community to ensure that everyone is safe during this freeze watch. Together, we can weather through this chilly chapter, Rock Hill!
