1971-2000 Climate Normals

North Carolina has a broad range of climate conditions due to its three distinct regions: the Appalachian Mountains, the Piedmont, and the Coastal Plains. This topographical variety along with the presence of the Gulf Stream off the coast, gives our state the largest climate variability of any state east of the Mississippi. This requires the integration of all our knowledge on the interactions between land, air, and sea, in order to provide information on the regional and local climate variations.
