City Directory, 1951-1952, Vol. 6: Containing an Alphabetical Directory of Business Concerns and Private Citizens, Occupants of Office Buildings and Other Business Places Including a Complete Street and Avenue Guide Asheboro's mean temperature, according to complete weather rec ords kept over a period of 21 years, is degrees. Zero temperatures are exceedingly rare and 100 degree temperatures have been recorded only a very few times at the Weather Bureau. Statistics over a long per iod of time give Asheboro a yearly average of 132 clear days, 115 partly cloudy days and 118 cloudy days. Asheboro is located amidst a range of long - eroded and timber cov ered mountains, the Uwharrie Mountains, described by geologists as the weathered remnants of peaks which pre-dated the Great Smokies and in bygone ages rivalled the Alps in their grandeur. Although the small mountains surrounding Asheboro today are only several hundred feet high, they unfold a variety of beautiful scenery from every highway in the county.
