Climate in Asheville


JuteVilla
The climate of Asheville is a humid subtropical climate (K�ppen Cfa), resembling the rest of the southeastern U.S., but with noticeably cooler temperatures due to the higher altitude. The area's summers in particular, though warm, are not as hot as summers in cities farther east in the state, as average highs peak at 85 �F (29.4 �C) in July. Winters are cool, with a January mean of 36.4 �F (2.4 �C). Snowfall is sporadic and usually light, with an average seasonal amount of 13.3 inches (34 cm). Freezing rain often occurs, accompanied by more significant disruption. Precipitation is relatively well-spread, though fall and early winter are the driest, and totals 37.3 inches (947.4 mm).

 

Extremes range from -16 to 100 �F (-27 to 38 �C), in January 1985 and August 1983, respectively
