Asheville Real Estate Weather Center~
When considering buying Real Estate in Asheville NC and the surrounding areas, you need to know what the weather's like here. In providing you a concierge experience as you buy a new Luxury Home in Asheville, be it one in a Gated or Golfing Community, a new Condominium or townhouse, or just an investment property, weather is an important factor about which you need to be aware. Additionally, please be advised that the estimated population is approximately 69,000 in the city and 215,000 in the county. Asheville’s MSA is currently estimated at 386,000.
The four-season temperate climate with average snowfall of only 13 inches makes year-round living easy. Average elevation is 2,165 feet above sea level (2100 to 3600 feet around Asheville and adjoining neighborhoods) with surrounding mountain elevations of up to 6,685 feet with Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River, just an hour away from Asheville. Because of this broad range of elevations and corresponding climates and plant growth, the area is one of the most biodiverse in the United States and the world. We enjoy a temperate climate throughout the year, with short and mild winters (Daytime highs in the wintertime are in the 50s-60s with lows in the 20s-30s).
Look for a long spring-summer-fall axis period that is warm but not too hot, and always with cooler more comfortable temperatures at night. Daytime Highs in the summertime are in the 80's with a week or two of 90s, while lows are in the 60s at night. Being in the Mountains, Asheville always has a calm breeze blowing through the forests and glens, and only during a storm does it get "windy."
During the summer, anticipate scattered rain and thunderstorms in the mountains in the afternoon and evening which keeps us Green! Despite the amount of rain, which is usually at night, expect more than enough sunny days all year long. This generally means, therefore, that most days are sunny, or in the least party cloudy---so that even our rainy days are generally broken with sun! In fact, you will note that below, our Afternoon Humidity is always lower in the afternoon, cooling things off just in time for the lightning bugs to chorus wonderfully around dusk as they head to the treetops. High Morning humidity allows for dew on the grass and welcomed cooling morning breezes in the summer. And expect the leaves to change around mid October but remain on the trees right through Thanksgiving. Also, expect the sky to be the bluest you've ever seen, so blue, they've named it Carolina Blue!
