Inspired by the shoutbox discussion tonight regarding that, I just realized NCEI has climate normals for hourly temps so I'll make it into a thread as well. What are they like for your location?
Winter (January): www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/us-climate-normals/#dataset=normals-hourly&timeframe=30&location=NC&station=USW00093719&month=0&day=14
Spring (April): www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/us-climate-normals/#dataset=normals-hourly&timeframe=30&location=NC&station=USW00093719&month=3&day=14
Summer (July): www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/us-climate-normals/#dataset=normals-hourly&timeframe=30&location=NC&station=USW00093719&month=6&day=14
Fall (October): www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/us-climate-normals/#dataset=normals-hourly&timeframe=30&location=NC&station=USW00093719&month=9&day=14
*For whatever reason, the month/date selector shows one month early when the aforementioned links are opened (e.g. what is shown as March is actually for April).
As expected, hourly summer temps tend to peak the earliest (around solar noon), due to clouds/precip dampening temps later in the afternoon the majority of days; outside of summer, they tend to peak around 2-3 PM.
