In North Carolina, the weather might be sunny one day yet pouring rain the next. This state is known for its rapidly changing weather and unpredictable patterns even though the weather app appears to be accurate.
North Carolina’s weather patterns fluctuate so much due to us being between the Atlantic Ocean and Appalachian Mountains. The sudden shifts in temperature and precipitation are due to being by such landmarks which causes our weather to be so wild.
Odyssey said, “The short answer is that NC’s proximity to a jet stream is the primary reason its weather can vary so much.”
These jet streams are basically rapid moving air in our atmosphere that accumulate in our weather. This is essentially one of the main reasons our state experiences all four seasons fully even with the weather constantly changing as weeks pass.
Weeks of plans are never fully plans considering there’s never a full way of knowing whether one would know to bring an umbrella or not. Outdoor events and plans of traveling are always disrupted by a change in weather. Schools and businesses experience this the worst because it ruins schedules and flexibility in general.
Small Business Majority said, “Nearly half of North Carolina small employers have been personally affected by extreme weather events: Nearly half (47%) of North Carolina small business owners report they have personally seen examples of extreme weather financially impacting their own business or those around them.”
While the weather could be very frustrating, residents and businesses have found ways to work around it and find a solution without ruining their day.
