HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) — We can always count on hot weather in the summer here in North Carolina. We are now rolling through May, and this is the month when we normally experience our first 90-degree day. You may be surprised to learn that our first 90 has been arriving later over the years. Over the past 122 years since records began for the Triad in 1903, the first 90-degree day of the year averages to May 19. Since 1950, it has averaged to May 25, and, since 2000, the first has averaged May 29.

(WGHP) — Many of us are getting the itch to start planting, given the longer, warmer days of sunshine. Every year, many of us plant and then worry a few nights about our work being killed by a freeze or frost. You can always plant early, but you are taking a chance on losing your plants and investment. Across North Carolina, you can see from the map, our last average freeze is usually the first week of April, and the last frost is about two weeks later. The map is a general average.
