This is what Raleigh's climate would be like if the hottest months on record were the averages. It looks to me like a place in southeast Texas a bit away from the coast.
I rate it a C- for being too hot.
Solid A climate, averages are very close to ideal for me. My only gripe is that four months had lows in the 20's, none or one would've pushed it to an A+ for me. July and August are also a touch hotter than ideal (92-93F) but not enough to take points off.
I rate it a B+, would be a solid A if the winters were more stable. My mother moved near there after teaching at chapel hill, she loves the gardening and the really long growing season , not to far from the beaches and a little longer to the mountains, even her summer garden in wake county is reallynice but you have to work it in the mornings and late evenings, (summer squash, eggplant, tomatoes ,peppers, cucumbers).
I love the fact the area has four seasons, a ton of rain, the summer is very hot ( july ,august) but you have have those late evening thunderstorms from all the humidity built up and I believe summer breaks around first week or so in september . I personally love the coast and the diving the most , but thats a very beautiful piedmont region. very green and forested city with alot of oaks

I don't think there is any way that july and august in north carolina compare to alot of the the texas summers . Those numbers are not anywhere near the climate in north carolina but I would have hated those hottest months for sure, i wonder what the dates were for those. doesnt seem recent
July, the hottest month, with daily highs in raleigh around 89°F/31-32c throughout the month, August is is around 87°F/30c for highs, september has falling daily high temps with daily highs decreasing from 85°F/29c to 76°F/24c throughout september and there are few evenings in the summer without some sort of late evening thunderstorm.
Raleigh is always at the top for rainiest cities in mid-large sized metros in the united states, those evening thunderstorms are the souths saving grace from all the humidity, it is why I love the climate so much. I love a good rain and thunderstorm as long as the lightning isnt too close to ground

Where did you get record lows and highs, January 1937 had a minimum temp of only 34 and the record highs for the winter months are cooler than what they are. So this is not the true hottest, use hottest monthly average, hottest minimum average, highest min temp in each month, highest max temp in each month. Then it will be hottest. I don't like the summer rainfall on this, warm winters are nice gets a b.

It's not even that wet by southeast standards. And I believe they do get a lot of cloud-to-ground lightning.

It's based on monthly mean temperature.
