Like much of the Mid-Atlantic, Salisbury enjoys hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters. As a coastal city, the Atlantic Ocean moderates the weather, but it sometimes experiences intense storms. Summer temperatures reach the upper 80s in July and August, while winter temperatures are generally in the 40s. Summers bring thunderstorms to the area, while winters attract the occasional blizzard.
Since beaches are one of the highlights of the area, summer is the busy season in Salisbury. Hotel prices are highest from the late spring through the early fall, though they drop off as the crowds thin out in early spring and late fall.
Winter is the slow season in Salisbury. Though you can't sunbathe on the beach in December or January, you'll find plenty of indoor attractions and cultural sites to keep you entertained.
