Summer in the Mountains

People are flocking to the mountains in the summer to beat the heat in Florida and in the Coastal Carolinas. Everyone is outdoors taking advantage of the perfect weather. We are often asked how hot does it get in the summer? Tough question. Why? Well it depends. With the varying elevations and exposures, the weather can be dramatically different within a short distance. Within 50 miles of Asheville you can have summer highs between 70-90 degrees. Most people think the greatest thing about summer in the mountains is the cool mornings and cool evenings no matter where you are.
