Description
This was taken on the way to Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.
********************
The geographical divisions of North Carolina are useful when discussing the climate of the state.
********************
The climate of the coastal plain is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, which keeps temperatures mild in winter and moderate in summer. The highest coastal, daytime temperature averages less than 89 �F (32 �C) during summer months. The coast has mild temperature in winter, with daytime highs rarely below 40 �F (4 �C). The average daytime temperature in the coastal plain is usually in the mid-50s �F (11�14 �C) in winter. Temperatures in the coastal plain only occasionally drop below the freezing point at night. The coastal plain averages only around 1 inch (2.5 cm) of snow or ice annually, and in many years, there may be no snow or ice at all.
********************
The Atlantic Ocean has less influence on the climate of the Piedmont region, which has hotter summers and colder winters than in the coast. Daytime highs in the Piedmont often average over 90 �F (32 �C) in the summer. While it is not common for the temperature to reach over 100 �F (38 �C) in the state, such temperature, if it occurs, is found in the lower areas of the Piedmont. The weaker influence of the Atlantic Ocean also means that temperatures in the Piedmont often fluctuate more widely than in the coast.
