Clemson's air quality is shaped largely by humid Piedmont summers; the lakeside setting helps moderate local air quality. These factors combine to give Clemson a fairly typical seasonal air quality pattern for this part of the country. Local topography and prevailing winds both play a role in how quickly conditions change.
