- July and August are the hottest
months -- daytime temps are often in the '90s, with
super-high humidity. We often have afternoon showers
between 2 and 4. Tents recommended!
- January and February are the
coldest months, with lots of rain and snow.
- March
is the wettest month, statistically, with both rain
and snow fall, but most spring
months are rainy.
(Some parts of WNC are wet all year -- Highlands is
considered a "rain forest".)
- April and November can be super
cold or super warm; it just depends on the year.
- October
is the driest month, with the most clear days.
November is also pretty dry.
- December
has the most cloudy days.

| If you are planning
a wedding in Asheville, you should be aware that, while the weather is
mild and agreeable most of the time, conditions change frequently. A
favorite saying here is, "If you don't like the weather, just
wait a minute, it will change." Meteorologists blame this
on our location between two giant mountain ranges -- the Great Smoky
Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We enjoy four distinct
seasons, with snowy, cold winters, cool, rainy springs, hot, bright
summers, and crisp falls with lots of color. While outdoor weddings
look nice on t.v., most of them are filmed in sunny,
dry Southern California. If any part of your event is going to be
outdoors, we encourage you to plan for inclement weather.
And definitely plan on cooler temperatures after dark. |
