In this case, I would refer to NOAA Climate official site rather than take anonymous Wiki data.


No data available.

So I looked up nearest two stations about a couple of miles away.


MOREHEAD CITY 2 WNW


BEAUFORT MICHAEL J SMITH FILED

These locations even barely reach high-80s in hottest month let alone 90 degrees.
Also probably they won't see below 70 degrees overnight as much as in central North Carolina.

Perfectly nice temperatures, completely ruined by wildly excessive rainfall especially in the summer. It seems to have the winters of somewhere like Naples, combined with summers from somewhere in southeast China. Can't give it higher than a D.

It's much more variable than Naples in the winter. As for precipitation, I'd trust an official station better. Here's one nearby. I don't get what's so excessive about the rainfall, both July and August average ten days of precipitation. And when it rains with humidity that high and convective, it'll pour. I suspect the precipitation hours aren't that high. The summer average is boosted by tropical storms and their remnants —*note that September has few precipitation days than August but just as much precipitation on average.

I've been to that shore many times in summer when we lived in NC. Summers where so humid, that you'd go to the beach, but get overheated and jump in the water. Fine, until you get out. In a few minutes, you'd start to sweat because of the humidity.

Great water temps in the summer, fairly variable but still prone to some cold snaps. I'd give it a C.

That's pretty much how I feel about most of the South - with the exception of FL - which is reliably warm in winter.

Hot sticky summers do not agree with me. Winters are not really warm - and Christmas is rarely white. So what's the point?

Summers are too hot and humid and the winters aren't great following that kind of weather.
