The climate of Fayetteville (North Carolina
- United States of America)
Fayetteville is located in the southern part of North Carolina on the
banks of the Cape Fear River and on the beautiful Sand Hills. This
centuries-old sand dune runs through the state. Prior to the arrival
of the colonists the region was home to several Indian tribes.
Nowadays only the Lumbee tribe lives in this region. Because the Cape
Fear River was one of the few navigable rivers in North Carolina
Fayetteville became an important economic and strategic center. Two
important military bases can be found in Fayetteville: Fort Brag and
Pope Army Airfield. Several other regiments are stationed here as
well. Originally the city was meant for the families of the militaries
stationed here.
Fayetteville has a warm maritime climate with pleasant summers and
cool winters. In comparison to a continental climate the difference in
temperatures between summer and winter are smaller with this climate
type. Extremes in temperatures are uncommon. Because of the influence
of the sea precipitation figures are high all year round. In December
and January precipitation may fall in the form of snow.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
