Question

Why is it so hot in North Carolina?

Answer 1

it it close to the equator

Answer 2

It's just the way the weather pattern is right now. It's really cool in the northwest and way above average heat in the eastern third of the country. Give it until about next Wednesday or Thursday, things will cool off somewhat.

Besides, it's that time of year anyways, lol.

Answer 3

If your closer to the ocean your feeling the humitiy as well as the basic heat making you feel hotter than it really is. Called the heat index. The winters will feel colder too because of the water. Called the wind chill.  But right now its just hot. Way hotter than normal. We up here in south east VA have broken records for all this heat and they say on the paper that some days the heat is so high we havent seen it since 1877 or some such year. It should cool down to normal temps soon...they say....

but then theres thoses fires too...
