Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Romare Bearden Park, Uptown, 9 km from the airport (CLT): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

August: busy. Busiest in July and August; quietest in October.

What to pack

  • Summer clothes by day, highs around 31°C.
  • A packable rain jacket for the 8 or so rainy days.
  • Sun protection: about 11 hours of sunshine a day.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
