Four Distinct Seasons

The Wake County area of North Carolina is known for its mild weather, making it a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Residents enjoy an average annual temperature of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter, you'll enjoy warmer days than friends in northern states. Even though temperatures may still dip into the 30s, many golfers are already on the course in February. Most summer days average mid-high eighties, although it is not unusual to experience 90's and even the occasional 100 degrees. Summers are perfect for boating or swimming in many of Wake County's lakes.

If you are relocating from Florida, you'll enjoy what most people adore about Cary, NC - four distinct seasons. Snow doesn't fall very often, but it is an unexpected delight when it does. Most snowfall melts away within hours or by the next day, allowing most residents to cheerfully agree that our snowfall tends to be "just enough."

If you are relocating from the North, one change in climate you'll fall in love with is our early spring. While cities in New York and New Jersey are still facing brisk weather and even snow in March, Cary is blooming with bright colorful flowers and lush greenery. Warm afternoon temperatures can find you strolling outdoors with short sleeves and sun-kissed cheeks.
