The Wilmington area enjoys wonderful shoulder seasons of spring and especially fall, making these times ideal for most visitors. Spring is simply wonderful; as for fall, the summer humidity often lingers well into October and water temperatures remain high enough to suit most Atlantic swimmers. Wilmington’s winters are generally mild with temperatures averaging in the high 50s and low 60s. An occasional ice storm or snowfall is rare but not unheard of.
Summer is prime for beach vacations, and you can expect heat and humidity that can be stifling. Not to worry, though: you can work around that by staying off the beach and in air conditioning at the height of the sun. Hurricane season runs from June through October, so be aware that severe weather is a possibility. The good news is these storms move slowly, giving advance notice of their arrival.
