Its normal for those of us here in southern North Carolina to endure 98 degrees Fahrenheit summer days with a heat index in-excess of 100. Currently the weather hasn’t been so bad though, the temperature highs for the past several days have been around the upper 80s. The weather here in Wilmington, NC is Semi-Tropical. We are just far enough down south that Elephant, Banana, Pineapple and Palm trees will grow. Further up north they are harder to sustain.
