Weather in Brevard, NC

Here’s what the seasons are like

Spring sees the biggest variations in weather. The lows can feel like winter and the highs can feel like summer, and there are plenty of perfect days! Storms are variable and so are trail conditions. There are always good riding spots though, so check out the local weather and trail guides to see what’s good.

Summer usually sees temperatures in the 80s, sometimes hitting 90 or above. Thunderstorms tend to roll through in the afternoons, forming in less than an hour, and clearing out as quickly as they came.

Fall is the season for the colors to change. The views are amazing all year, and they’re even more magnificent in fall. The air starts cooling and you’ll find it perfect for biking. Thunderstorms are still a possibility but dress in layers and you’ll be set.

Winter doesn’t usually bring much snow, but if it does you’ll have a fireplace! Average temperatures are in the mid 40s. The weather can change dramatically from week to week, and any snow left quickly melts away. Check trail warnings and local weather to stay safe!
