🌡 The weather here, in general
Charlotte runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 91°F, while January nights average 34°F — a 57-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.
Expect around 43 days a year at 90°F or above, concentrated in July. Heat illness climbs sharply on consecutive hot days, so the third day of a streak is more dangerous than the first.
Snow is rare, but 39 nights a year drop to freezing. Burst pipes and black ice are the practical concerns, not shovelling.
Rainfall averages about 46 inches a year, wettest in September and driest in June.
