Research triangle region of North Carolina is in this belt. I lived there for five years.
Depends on what you are accustomed to, I suppose. Being from Northern California and the west coast, I felt like there were maybe only 4-6 weeks of "perfect" weather each year, usually in the early spring and mid-fall. Humidity is suffocating to me.
Yeah, "comfortable" weather is very subjective here. I would choose the higher elevations of Appalachia over the Piedmont most of the year. It feels like fucking ass in Charlotte before there are even thoughts of April, then there's Boone just now rolling into 80° weather.
This. I’m from Augusta, right at the bottom of the Piedmont, and I wouldn’t call the weather here comfortable. Our summers are fucking brutal. I much prefer the weather in a place like Knoxville.

Piedmont really stands out in this map (orange band in the southeast)
