Weather by month
Charlotte
North Carolina
A Piedmont city with four distinct seasons, long forgiving falls, and just enough winter ice to shut everything down once a year.
The best time to come
October is the standout — dry, warm in the sun, and the Speedway brings the town alive again. April and May are close behind, with everything in bloom and evenings still cool enough for a jacket.
