North Carolina Coast Climate and Weather

Situated midway between New York and Florida, the 'Crystal Coast' of North Carolina is well-placed to have the seasonal weather of the north, but south in latitude enough for extremes to be counteracted by the influence of the offshore Gulf Stream. The coast averages 212 days of sunshine a year, has a low rainfall and snow is a great rarity. Summer breezes keep temperatures balmy and humidity at bay. The area has often been hit by hurricanes, but this does not deter holidaymakers from enjoying the great vacation weather.
