Zebulon
is a small town located twenty miles east of Raleigh, and is the easternmost town in the Research Triangle region of the state. It is situated between the Little River and Moccasin Creek, and has a convenient location which makes it a desirable base from which to explore the entire area. Zebulon lies in a region of southern hospitality where thousands of fun and unique festivals and events celebrate the history and people of the state. A few of the more well known festivals include the town of Spivey's Corner's "National Hollerin' Contest," the Mount Olive Pickle Festival and the Lexington Barbecue Festival. The nearby capital city of Raleigh is the cultural and educational center of the region, with museums such as the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science, the North Carolina Museum of History and the North Carolina Museum of Art. The historic Capitol building and St. Mary's College, which was founded in 1842, are part of a walking or driving tour of the city. Stop at the Capital Area Visitor Center for more information. Just a few miles from Zebulon is the beautiful Falls Lake State Recreational Area. Here you will find miles and miles of hiking trails, fishing, boating, camping, playgrounds and swimming. Zebulon offers visitors a welcoming change of pace from the more hectic and crowded vacation spots.

Zebulon Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The Piedmont Plateau in central North Carolina has become popular with retirees looking for a moderate climate. The region is protected by the western mountain ranges in winter, so the cold, snowy conditions of the mountainous ski resorts is less common here in the warmer east. Summer weather is the least variable and the most predictable - often with very calm conditions. Wind speeds are also much lower in summer than in winter. Intense, short-lived local showers are often common on a summer afternoon, although occasionally there are more widespread, gentle rain showers. Autumn is the driest season. Average humidity does not vary greatly from season to season, and the lowest levels are found over the southern Piedmont region. Tropical hurricanes come close enough to North Carolina to influence the weather about twice in an average year.
