Climate Insight: Goldsboro AG, NC
Based on station USC00313503 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Goldsboro AG, North Carolina averages 61°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 71°F to a mean daily low of 51°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Goldsboro AG receives roughly 52.5 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 229 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 28 and the first fall freeze near November 12. For energy use, 3,212 heating degree days and 1,673 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Goldsboro AG scores 78/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
