About our Climate

For families and retirees looking for constant temperate climate (hard freezes are almost unheard of) but who still want to enjoy the change of seasons, New Bern is ideal. With its long springs and autumns and short summers and winters, New Bern offers the ideal environment for sports addicts, gardeners, golfers and all outdoor enthusiasts with its near year-round outdoor activities and close access to beaches.

One of New Bern's older residents, who was a transplant over 10 years ago said, "I moved to New Bern because the camellias bloom all winter here, and I figured if they can thrive in this weather, so can I."
