Weather
North Carolina experiences all four seasons. With that being said, the weather can be quite erratic.
Many times it can feel like spring or even summer in the winter months.
During the Spring, it will usually seem as if it is either summer or winter, and spring is usually pretty short.
Summers are hot and humid and these warm temperatures can last through mid-November.
And if you guessed it, fall can many times feel like summer, with a short burst of fall. Fall is also a very short, but pretty season in NC.
