Southport lies on the southern coast of NC and is home to the NC 4th of July festival. Both locations experience very different climates, weather, and vegetation.   |

I personally think the highs are slightly high for Southport but the station was up and running with records far back as 1890s. Sadly it closed in 2016. Either way it probably is only slightly cooler, perhaps 58 in jan vs 60. Definitely warmer than Wilmington, it’s southeasterly location helps it a lot. It’s a solid 35 miles south of Wilmington I want to say, but also further east than places like myrtle which helps it. Sometimes we get days where myrtle is like 55 and rain while it’s still 70 and muggy in Southport / Wilmington in jan . The easterly location helps .

Southport for being subtropical, while the other is a subarctic rainforest  |

Southport for being subtropical, while the other is a subarctic rainforest Oxymoron. Can't be a 'rainforest' if it's too cold for anything to grow half the damn year. |

Sure it can. Alaskan panhandle, Norwegian coast, some high altitude mountainslopes...

If there's lush, dense forest and undergrowth...it's simply not 'subarctic'. Look at images of beech Mountain - barely any trees on and around the summit, let alone anything approaching a 'rainforest'! -proves my point |
