Charlotte Climate

Humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid (30–35°C) with frequent afternoon thunderstorms that cause delays June through August. Charlotte sits in a region with high storm frequency. Winters are generally mild (1–10°C) but ice storms hit 2–4 times per year and are highly disruptive since Charlotte has limited de-icing infrastructure.

Spring brings severe weather risk including tornadoes. Fall (September–November) is the most stable season. Snow is rare but the city is poorly equipped to handle it when it arrives.
