The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) has officially released new climate normals for hundreds of cities around the United States. This new dataset covers the period 1991-2020 and updates the previous version which used the period 1981-2010.
US National Weather Service Wilmington NC put together a webpage for Wilmington, Florence, North Myrtle Beach, and Lumberton where you can view the new annual, monthly, and daily normals and compare changes versus the old normals:

Across our portion of the Carolinas the largest change has been an increase in temperature. Low temps have increased at a faster rate than high temps.

This is all great information to help make sure you are aware of hazards that might influence weather so you can prepare and be
