I had an arborist on one project we were working on tell me NC use to be zone 7 for plant selection, but now we are zone 9. There was also a piece recently that said the tropics have increased in width 2 degrees north and south, thus pushing up the arid subtropics up.
So the heat during summer seems to be here to stay for a while.
